Maximum Separation
The Van Steenburgh System provides maximum separation of oil, acid, moisture and hard particle contaminants through its unique method of pumping the refrigerant liquid or vapor at high velocity and high temperature into the Separation Chamber as it drops to near zero velocity. This causes the oil, acid, water, and hard particle contaminants to drop to the bottom where they can be retrieved along with the maximum amount of retrievable oil. No other system does this.

Sub-Cooling
The vapor from the Separation passes through the compressor to the air condenser where it is condensed to liquid. It then passes to the chill Chamber(s) where it is sub-cooled to 15 to 40 degree F/-9 to 4 degree C. This aids in the transfer of the refrigerant to a cylinder or system at room temperature or warmer. It also enhances the drying/ filtering process. No other system does this.

Drying/Filtering
Sub-cooled refrigerant dries more efficiently. We take advantage by recirculating the sub-cooled refrigerant at the rate of 300-400 lbs/136.3 to 181.8 kg an hour (average based on ambient range). This means maximum drying. No other system does this.
