Whats the difference between virgin & reclaimed gas? Is virgin gas still available?
If the refrigerant gas is reclaimed by an EPA Certified Reclaimer, there is virtually no difference, since virgin and reclaim refrigerant both must conform to the same ARI-700 purity standard. There are still some supplies of ‘virgin’ CFC based gas available. Most reclaimers define ‘virgin’ refrigerant as refrigerant in original container with unbroken seal.
