A refrigerant transfer tank, often referred to as a "refrigerant recovery tank" or "refrigerant cylinder," is used for the safe transfer and storage of refrigerants during servicing or recovery processes. These tanks are designed to handle high pressure and are typically made of robust materials to prevent leakage. They are equipped with safety features, such as pressure relief valves, to ensure safe operation. Proper labeling and adherence to regulations are essential when using these tanks to manage refrigerants responsibly.
During the transfer of refrigerant, a recovery tank must be used. These tanks are specifically designed to safely contain refrigerants and are built to handle the pressures involved in refrigerant transfer. It is essential to ensure that the tank is rated for the specific type of refrigerant being used, as different refrigerants have different properties and safety requirements. Using the appropriate recovery tank helps prevent leaks and potential hazards.

A liquid refrigerant tank is used to store refrigerants that are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. These tanks are designed to handle specific refrigerants and are typically used in industrial and commercial settings. A propane tank, on the other hand, is used to store propane gas, which is commonly used for heating, cooking, and as a fuel source for vehicles. Propane tanks are typically used in residential, commercial, and outdoor settings.

Ammonia is used as a refrigerant because it has excellent heat transfer properties, is energy efficient, and has zero ozone depletion potential. It can absorb a large amount of heat when it evaporates, making it ideal for cooling applications.
