Yes. All refrigerant must be recovered and stored when opening up an AC system for service. This is not a DIY task, and should not be attempted by someone untrained in HVAC systems.

When you are replacing a compressor. Chances are that the compressor's internal motor had a burnout when this happens the there is a chemical reaction that makes everything very acidic this in-turn contaminates the refrigerant as well. The old refrigerant would be reclaimed and sent to a a reclamation center where it would be incinerated under the guidelines by the Dept of EPA .


I don't know why my farm tractor won't take freon after replacing the compressor?

There could be several reasons why your farm tractor won't take freon after replacing the compressor. First, ensure that the new compressor is properly installed and that all connections are secure, as leaks can prevent the system from holding refrigerant. Additionally, check for any blockages in the lines or the expansion valve that could hinder the flow of freon. Finally, ensure that the system is properly evacuated and vacuumed before adding freon, as moisture or air in the system can cause issues.
