Which refrigerant is mentioned as being in a recovered cylinder?

Recovered cylinders hold the refrigerant that was inside the system being serviced, so the refrigerant most likely described as being in a recovered cylinder is the one widely used in newer equipment. R-410A has become the standard replacement for older R-22 in many residential systems, making it the common refrigerant you’ll hear described as being recovered. The other refrigerants listed come from different applications or older systems (for example, some are used in commercial or automotive contexts), so they’re less typically described as the refrigerant in a recovered cylinder in this common scenario.
