Hi all =D,I would like to make one recovery system with a hermetic compressor and 2 oil seps,is that possible?Do anybody have one schema with that?
Soon i'll make a draw and post here.
I'm thinking about 1/12hp compressor(more than enough to put 5hg of vacuum)and 2 homemade oil seps with oil return valves.
Thanks

I think it would work fine, but keep in mind whatever you're recovering gas into needs to be cooled down because compressing gas into a cylinder (or anything) creates heat.

How about a desuperheater with the oil sep?
Example = runmc's oil sep:
EDIT:What is the schema?
One oil sep on discharge and another on suction?
Midlle to compressor,oil valve to service on compressor and top tube to refrigerant bottle?

I have been looking for a way to do the same. GuGaCoSa. If I find cheap design I will send it your way. It will save me lots of dollars on refrigerate. I have been looking at trying to copycat the one we have at work but trying to locate the same parts at reasonable price is my problem.
