III. General System Description
The Recovery/Recycling machine will recover and clean fire extinguishing Agents of
moisture, acid, oil, particulate, and non-condensable gases, and pump the cleaned Agent
into user storage containers.
Agent refers any of the types of fire extinguishing media that may be recovered using the
recycling system: Halon 1301, Halon 1211, FM200 or FE25.
The recovery machine is comprised of five major component groups, contained in the one
enclosure, as depicted by figure-2. Each component group will provide the functions
necessary to recover, recycle and pump out Agent with a minimum of operator
involvement.
A temperature controller regulates the temperature of the internal processing tank by
operating the cascade refrigeration section.
During automatic processing, a programmable controller (PLC) receives input information
regarding the status of the source container and the internal processing tank. Based on
this information the PLC operates the components required for the appropriate actions of
recovery and recycling. The PLC also monitors the process and will indicate error
conditions by suspending operation and flashing the processing lamp with one, or a
combination of the liquid level lamps, located on the front panel, indicating the error
condition detected. See section-VIII.A for a description of the error codes.
