    When we close a store and shut the racks down we use a coil of 3/8 copper 20-25 ft flare it and run the coil in ice hook one end to rack another to a reclaim tank. Works great.

    We've always used ice on the cylinders.

    I've never tried icing the recovery line.

    We have one smaller pump, and when big jobs require a larger volume, we use a rental.
