[0002] In industry, laboratories and special places, a high-precision constant temperature and humidity environment is essential for the stable operation of equipment and products. Traditional air-conditioning systems use temperature and humidity sensors in conjunction with compressors and evaporators to adjust environmental parameters, but when it comes to refrigerant recovery, efficient and environmentally friendly Freon collection is usually not possible, resulting in energy waste and environmental pollution.
