SAE J 2788

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to establish the specific minimum equipment performance requirements for recovery and recycling of HFC-134a that has been directly removed from, and is intended for reuse in, mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems. It also is intended to establish requirements for equipment used to recharge HFC-134a to an accuracy level that meets Section 9 of this document and SAE J2099. The requirements apply to the following types of service equipment and their specific applications: a. Recovery/Recycling Equipment, b. Recovery/Recycling - Refrigerant Charging, c. Refrigerant Recharging Equipment Only.

Improved refrigerant recovery equipment is required to ensure adequate refrigerant recovery to reduce emissions and provide for accurate recharging of mobile air conditioning systems. Therefore, 12 months following the publication date of these standard, requirements in this standard supplements and supercedes, SAE J2210.

Equipment shall be certified to meet all performance requirements outlined in this document and international/regional construction and safety requirements as outlined in Section 11 of this document.

This standard supersedes the requirements of SAE J2210 to reduce refrigerant emissions during servicing and provides requirements for charging refrigerant into mobile air conditioning systems.
