The CPS AR2700TA is a professional-grade semi-automatic recovery, recycle, evacuate, and recharge machine engineered specifically for large capacity HVAC/R applications. Designed with the working technician in mind, this robust RRR system delivers reliability, accuracy, and durability in demanding shop environments. Unlike fully automatic machines that rely on solenoids and check valves prone to failure from sealants and contaminants, the AR2700TA utilizes manual ball valves in the recovery and evacuation flow path—making it virtually impervious to field contamination and ensuring long-term performance.
Built on heavy-duty 1" tubular steel frame construction, this machine features 10" pneumatic wheels and 4.5" swivel casters for easy maneuverability across the shop floor. With its high-efficiency 7 CFM vacuum pump, the AR2700TA delivers the pulling power and speed required for professional service work, while the microprocessor-controlled recharge system ensures charging accuracy to 1/10 oz or 4 grams—critical for modern precision refrigerant charging requirements.
Built for Real-World Service Environments
The innovative semi-automatic design of the AR2700TA eliminates the weak points found in conventional recovery machines. By incorporating ball valves instead of solenoids and check valves in the recovery and evacuation flow path, CPS has engineered a machine that stands up to the harsh realities of field service. Both solenoids and check valves are highly susceptible to in-field failure when exposed to foreign contaminants such as aftermarket A/C sealants, loose desiccant, and debris particles that cause them to leak or seal closed—resulting in costly downtime and repairs.
The AR2700TA can be operated with selectable valves for low, high, or both in recovery, recycling, and recharge mode, giving technicians precise control over the service process. This flexibility, combined with straightforward operation for oil waste and air purge, makes the machine exceptionally user-friendly even for less experienced operators. Easy-to-read high and low-pressure gauges (suction: -30 inch Hg to 125 PSIG; discharge: 0 to 500 PSIG) provide instant visual feedback during all phases of operation.
The machine features a 12.67 cc twin-cylinder oil-less compressor for reliable refrigerant recovery and a 16 cubic inch drier with moisture indicator for effective filtration and system protection. Operating across a wide temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C), the AR2700TA is ready for year-round service work. High-pressure shut-off at 30 bar (450 PSIG) and a 15A thermal breaker provide comprehensive overload protection for safe operation.
Single Refrigerant Design for Maximum Efficiency
The AR2700TA is engineered for single refrigerant operation, making it ideal for dedicated service applications and preventing cross-contamination between refrigerant types. While compatible with R134a, R12, R22, R502, R404a, R402a, R401a, R407c, and R409a, the machine does not contain a pump-down valve for multiple refrigerant usage (available on the AR2700M model). This single-refrigerant focus ensures purity and eliminates the economic loss associated with refrigerant mixing.
The machine includes a heater band and condenser for enhanced performance, ensuring efficient refrigerant transfer and recovery even in cooler environments. The 12 VDC solenoid charging valve works in concert with the microprocessor control system to deliver precise, repeatable charging results every time. The AR2700TA can be programmed for 50 lb, 90 lb, or 40 kilogram tanks, and comes standard with a 50 lbs tank with heater included with purchase.
Key Highlights
Ball valves replace solenoids and check valves — impervious to contamination and sealants for maximum reliability
Microprocessor-controlled recharge — accurate to 1/10 oz or 4 grams for precision charging
Heavy-duty steel construction — 1" tubular frame with 10" pneumatic wheels and 4.5" swivel casters for shop durability and mobility
50 lb tank with heater included — complete system ready for immediate operation upon delivery
Compact Footprint, Powerful Performance
Despite its robust capabilities, the AR2700TA maintains a manageable footprint of just 22" W x 24.5" D x 42" H and weighs 120 lbs (not including tank), making it suitable for shops with space constraints. Powered by standard 115 VAC 60Hz single-phase electrical service with 500W power consumption, the machine requires no special wiring and can be plugged in wherever shop power is available. Its simple operation, combined with professional-grade performance, makes the CPS AR2700TA an exceptional value for automotive and HVAC/R service professionals who demand reliability and precision.
