Yea and no. One don’t ever use a used refrigeration recovery unit to recover co2 that will be used for anything that you will smoke and or ingest.I have the opportunity to buy either of these from anA/C company that is going out of business. I will have first pick of a dozen machines (all less than 2 years old) at very reasonable prices when compared to new retail. I have seen them in BHO photos & videos; however I don't know if they are safe to use or not. I see a lot of stuff i KNOW is not safe, so I though I would check with the community.

2. The pressures required to take co2 from gas to liquid is much much higher then any refrigerant out there.
I’m an hvac tech/ owner of a company.
They make co2 recovery units designed for that purpose. Spend the extra bucks and buy the correct equipment. Don’t kill your self or someone else using the wrong equipment.

This does not have sealed circuits making it not rated for use in class 1 locations. (Areas where explosive vapors or gasses may be present)
You really should learn how to operate your closed loop passively before you attempt to operate it actively..
Just remember I added the unit with the condensing coil because this unit requires it to operate..
And back to my previous comment about not buying a used recovery machine that has had random gasses through it.. you wouldn’t scuba dive with propane tank that someone filled with o2, same principle applies for the recovery pump you wouldn’t smoke something that has been pumped through a contaminated pump
Butane , sane deal, anything in contact to something you will ingest is a Nono if used. But new, the Pressure for butane is lower and can be used but, u need a sealed recovery unit, explosive gas and all.Jack OG, you addressed CO2; Upon further reading of your response, i have another question. Do the same concerns hold for Butane/Propane?

But if it’s just To degaussing the residues, it should of be ok
There are propane recovery units that we use for propanol based systems that has all the safety measures, pricey but would be ideal if bho is the route you would go:Thanks for the follow-up Jack; Dabarino hooked me up with an example of the specs that should be considered. I sent that recommendation & information on to someone who is further along in the learning curve than I. She is now doing up to two lbs per run and is looking to improve her process.
