company last year after it recognised that by offering a similar service in the UK, it could make a big difference to the way the industry operates.
A-Gas managing director, John Ormerod, said: “Rapid Recovery is a bespoke, F-Gas compliant recovery service with very high recovery rates approximately ten times faster than traditional recovery units. The main benefit to contractors is that they are able to outsource this work to someone who is a specialist in the field of recovery. “Most engineers will tell you that the recovery process can take a great deal of time and anything that speeds it up is welcome. A lot of time is also
wasted moving recovery cylinders to and from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, but A-Gas Rapid Recovery brings cylinders to the job. Independent of services like power, the equipment is portable and with 200 ft hoses can reach acr units wherever they are.”
