{"product_id":"vortex-dual-refrigerant-recovery-machine","title":"Vortex Dual Refrigerant Recovery Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe INFICON Vortex Dual (INF-714-202-G31) is a 230V A2L-certified refrigerant recovery machine built for Australian HVAC-R technicians who need the fastest real-world recovery speeds in a portable, field-hardened unit. It covers CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and semi-flammable A2L refrigerants including R32, R410A, R22, R134a, R404A, and R407C — the full range of systems in the current AU installed base and the R32-dominant split systems coming through now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2L Certified.

The Vortex Dual addresses this with a micro-channel condenser — the same heat exchange technology used in high-efficiency systems — combined with an oversize fan. The result is lower discharge pressure sustained throughout the entire recovery cycle, not just at the start. On a 40°C rooftop in summer, that sustained speed is the difference. The 1 HP oil-less dual-piston compressor drives the recovery rate; the condenser and fan design are what maintain it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eINF-714-202-G31\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V (AU\/NZ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompressor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 HP oil-less dual-piston, AC motor drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondenser\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicro-channel with oversize fan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-valve with self-purge (no hose change required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-size protected suction + tank pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Refrigerants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFCs, HCFCs, HFCs incl.
