into the environment, and also permits purging the A/C system of humidity and deposits contained in the oil.  
The machine is equipped with a built-in evaporator/separator that removes oil and other impurities from the 
refrigerant recovered from the A/C system and collects them in a container for that purpose.  The fluid is then 
filtered, recycled and returned to the tank installed in the machine.  The machine also permits running certain 
operational and leak tests on the A/C system.
