Abstract
A device for reducing the permeability of tubing in climate control, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, comprising elements for recovering gas escaped by permeation from at least one tube that is at a first temperature and pressure, adapted to convey the permeated gas to a region of the system that is at a second temperature and pressure, the second pressure being lower than the first pressure.

A device for reducing the permeability of tubing in climate control, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, comprising means for recovering gas escaped by permeation from at least one tube that is at a first temperature and pressure, adapted to convey said permeated gas to a region of said system that is at a second temperature and pressure, said second pressure being lower than said first pressure.
A method for reducing the permeation of a gas from a tube of a climate control, air conditioning and refrigeration system, comprising the steps of:
- recovering gas permeated from said tube that is at high pressure and temperature;
- conveying said gas collected from said tube that is at high pressure and high temperature to a region of said system that is at a lower temperature and pressure;
- returning into circulation said permeated gas conveyed to said region of said system that is at a lower temperature and pressure than the tube from which said gas is permeated.
