Can someone help me understand if this is right or I am missing a step in recovery. When I finish running my system and take the recovery hose off the solvent tank there is always a good bit of gas remaining in the line and it vents off at a high psi a out of the hose. Is this normal?
Remove the blue line attached to the low side gauge from the top of the column first ..the vacuum in the column will suck in a little air ..aim the open end of the blue hose in an appropriate direction ..and slowly open the low side valve on the left .. this allows you to control the pressure and direction of the remaining solvent ..tap the yellow hose connected to your recovery tank to wiggle it..anything left will immediately blowout the end of the blue hose that was attached to the column...
..my solvent loss is about .3-.4# per run ...I recover to -16hg at 7000 ft ..about the equivalent of -22hg at sea level...
..I hope that helps...
...grievous
and if i wanted to try the pour out method instead of having to scrape the damn thing, would i recover it down to 10" Hg instead of 15"?

what temperature are people keeping the collection pot in?

Gently pull up on the pressure relief valve and release the pressure in the tank. Mine will go from 50psi down to 15-20psi.
Then turn on the appion, open the valve and finish your run. When you take the hoses off, the will be very little tane in them.
This also gets rid of any air in the tank, which is nice.
