I'm attempting to do some DIY car repairs from my driveway, and need to remove the vehicle's AC condenser. To do so, I need to evacuate the r134a refrigerant from the AC system. Apparently it is the norm even at some auto shops to vent this refrigerant into the atmosphere, despite its high potential as a greenhouse gas and resulting legal penalties. I would like to avoid this method. I've sourced a very old and very cheap Amprobe ProMax RG5000E refrigerant recovery machine, hoses and a tank for the job, and recycling service willing to dispose of it properly, and I have been studying the manua

If your condenser coil is damaged, refrigerant was released and your system is most likely empty. Connect gauges to both service ports to see if any pressure remains. Designed as a refrigerant recovery machine, it's not a refrigeration vacuum pump. Recovering refrigerant is required following EPA regulations against releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere. In America, refrigeration repairs must use refrigerant recovery whether repairing vehicles or commercial hvac systems using large amounts of refrigerant. EPA fines can be substantial if businesses are found to deviate from recovering refrigerant, releasing it into the atmosphere. In practical terms, every vehicle with ac eventually releases refrigerant whether from a crash rupturing a system or service during repairs. Every ac system is considered sealed at factory assembly, refrigerant under pressure when ac isn't used. 98% of ac problems are leaks occurring from everyday driving. This simply means refrigerant escapes....... from
