Abstract
A method and corresponding system for extracting an unsuitable and/or unknown and/or contaminated coolant gas from an air conditioning system. An existing coolant fluid recovery/charging machine is used in order to extract the heat required to cool said containment element of the coolant to be extracted or extracted.

Method for recovering coolant gas in an air conditioning system, which is of the type adapted to carry out the extraction of the gas in a suitable containment element and which provides at least one cooling step for cooling the extracted gas, providing for extracting the heat required to cool said containment element of the coolant to be extracted or extracted using the coolant contained in an existing coolant fluid recovery/charging machine, when said recovery/charging machine is connected to said containment element so to form a closed circuit, and then for heating the containment element before emptying the same.
System for recovering/extracting contaminated unsuitable gases from an air conditioning system, comprising at least one containment element, hermetically sealed and thermally insulated, configured to receive said unsuitable gas, wherein the containment element has at least two couplings for quick connection with corresponding couplings provided on the air conditioning system, one or more heat exchanger elements provided into said containment element and in turn connected to two branches connectable at ends thereof with high pressure port and low pressure port, respectively, of a recovery/charging machine, wherein at least one lamination member is provided between one of the two branches and the end, wherein once the branches have been coupled with the high pressure port and the low pressure port of the recovery/charging machine, a closed circuit with the recovery/charging machine itself is formed and a coolant fluid contained in the tank of the unit can be introduced into the system.
