When the refrigerant saturation temperature increases to 36 degrees F.
To endure that the ONLY gas in the system is refrigerant.
A refrigerator compressor is the center of the refrigeration cycle. It works as a pump to control the circulation of the refrigerant, and it adds pressure to the refrigerant, heating it up. The compressor also draws vapor away from the evaporator to maintain a lower pressure and lower temperature before sending it to the condenser.

Refrigerators do not produce CFC. Old equipment contains these materials as they were the refrigerant of choice before the Montreal Protocol. The old equipment lost the CFCs to the atmosphere due to leaks and gasket failure.
If you are going to purge the system using nitrogen, rather than evacuating the system with a vacuum pump, you will first need to remove the refrigerant gas without releasing it to the atmosphere.
True refrigeration is a very popular company with great customer service. The best way to determine if they are worth the price for you would be to look over your budget and look over product reviews before you make a decision.

why applay refrigerant oil to the flare cone before making a flare
The first thing to check... refrigerant pressure. It's almost ALWAYS the refrigerant. The design of an automotive refrigeration A/C system isl not quite the same as your kitchen refrigerator, which almost NEVER leaks refrigerant. The hoses and compressor seal on your automotive AC leak. It may be a very slow leak, but they ALL leak, so before you put a lot of money into speculation, check the pressures on the AC system and if it's low, add refrigerant. Having said that, it CAN be a failed compressor clutch, downright worn out compressor, bad fuse or worn out switch. ... but start with the refrigerant.
that theres a vacuum on it
An A/C shop will know. The leak must be repaired before adding refrigerant.
