The Robinair 34788 A/C Machine is the first machine available for refrigerant recovery that is fully compliant with the new SAE J2788 requirements that came into force in 2006, and will soon be mandatory. This means that for any business which is involved in refrigerant recovery from automotive air conditioning systems, the Robinair 34788 A/C Machine is an essential purchase required to stay in line with the latest EPA regulations.
The SAE J2788 regulations regarding the handling of AC refrigerants came into force for the first time in late 2006, as a guideline recommendation, and will become mandatory later this year. The regulations state that there is a requirement for all the CFC refrigerants to be collected when recharging an automotive AC system to prevent the leaking of the chemicals into the atmosphere.
It has been known for more than 20 years that the chlorofluorocarbons like Freon that are used as coolants and refrigerants in air conditioning systems are damaging to the environment. CFCs react with atmospheric ozone, causing it to be broken down and disperse. The ozone layer is an area of the atmosphere around 30 miles above the surface of the earth which protects the planet from the worst effects of the ultra violet radiation from the sun.
When CFC gasses like Freon are allowed to escape into the atmosphere, they damage the ozone layer, and reduce its ability to protect the planet from ultra violet radiation, which can cause skin cancers.
Since the 1990s, the EPA has introduced a number of recommendations and regulations that are designed to protect the environment from the release of CFCs. One of the most important areas that are governed by the regulations is the motor vehicle air conditioning servicing industry. When air conditioning is serviced, the CFC chemicals in the refrigerant need to be cleaned and recycled rather than simply released into the environment. Large fines are handed down to anyone who breaks the regulations, and these can run to tens of thousands of dollars for severe infringements.
With this in mind, it has become incumbent upon any auto workshops that deal with MVAC processes to keep up to date with the latest refrigerant recovery tools in order to ensure that they stay in line with the EPA requirements for refrigerant recycling, and air conditioning repair work.
Over the last few years, the requirements for keeping in line with the latest EPA guidelines have become ever more stringent, and with this in mind, Robinair, the leading company in producing refrigerant recovery machines has released the Robinair 34788 A/C Machine. This is the only AC machine currently available that is in full compliance with the new SAE J2788 regulations, meaning that for anyone looking to retool their workshop in line with the law, it is the only choice available.
Thankfully, the Robinair 34788 A/C Machine has all the features that you would expect from one of the top manufacturers, is easy to use, and carries out its work in a reliable and timely fashion. The main thrust of the new regulations is to tighten the restrictions
