At what percentage of total capacity is a recovery storage container considered "Full"?

A recovery storage container is considered "Full" when it reaches 80% of its total capacity. This standard is established to ensure safe operation and to prevent overfilling, which could lead to dangerous conditions. In refrigeration systems, particularly when dealing with refrigerants, it is critical to adhere to capacity limits to avoid potential leaks or ruptures. Once the container reaches this 80% threshold, there is a significant risk of increased pressure and reduced ability to absorb additional refrigerant, which is why it is designated as "Full." This practice helps to maintain safety and compliance with regulations governing refrigerant handling.
