ATEX-certified recovery unit compatible with all refrigerants, including flammable A2L (R32) and A3 (R290) gases. Anti-spark design and powerful 1.3 HP brushless motor.
The TREK-POWER EX is a professional-grade recovery station designed for safe refrigerant handling in potentially explosive atmospheres. Thanks to its ATEX certification and anti-spark construction (compliant with ANSI 12.12.01:2016 Ed.7), it is ideal for recovering flammable gases such as R290 (A3) and R32 (A2L). Its powerful 1.3 HP brushless motor drives an oil-free dry piston compressor with high-durability seals for top performance and reliability. Easy to operate with its dual analog pressure gauges and simplified control panel, the unit features automatic purge valves to prevent cross-contamination and a high-performance cooling system for both the unit and recovered gas.Durable, efficient, and compact, the TREK-POWER EX is the essential recovery tool for HVAC and refrigeration professionals working in hazardous environments.

ATEX is an acronym from the French ATmosphères EXplosibles. It refers to the European regulation governing worker protection and the compliance of equipment used in explosion-risk areas (gas, vapors, mists, combustible dust). The European ATEX directive 2014/34/EU (formerly 94/9/EC) sets the essential safety requirements for equipment and protective systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres. In summary, the ATEX mark guarantees that the TREK-POWER-EX recovery station can be used with flammable A3 refrigerants, including R290 and R600a.
When using the TREK-POWER-EX on a system charged with A3 refrigerant (e.g., R290), it is mandatory to eliminate any sources of sparks within the safety perimeter around the system. This is why the vacuum pump power plug must not be connected closer than 5 m from the installation.
Many manufacturers display very high recovery rates for their machines. Unfortunately, it is often very difficult to know the method used to determine these values. At LINSTRUMENT, we rely on the ANSI 740 methodology from the international organization UL, which precisely describes the conditions and measurement criteria for the recovery capacities of such machines. Therefore, it is very important to know in advance the standards used to evaluate the performance of the machines you wish to compare.
At LINSTRUMENT, we consider analog technology (needle gauges) more advantageous than digital technology on a recovery station. Indeed, in this case, reading the gauges allows a finer understanding of the machine's behavior and the progress of the recovery work, more so than a digital display. Furthermore, sometimes harsh job site conditions (cold, rain, sun, dust, dirt…) expose and make machines with digital screens more fragile than those equipped with analog gauges.
