The fine for venting refrigerant into the atmosphere can be as high as $37,500 per day per violation under the Clean Air Act. This significant penalty reflects the environmental impact of refrigerant gases, which are potent greenhouse gases. Companies are urged to adhere to regulations and employ proper refrigerant management practices to avoid such fines.
One effect of some refrigerant gases, particularly hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), in the atmosphere is their contribution to global warming. These gases have a high global warming potential, meaning they can trap heat more effectively than carbon dioxide. As they accumulate in the atmosphere, they exacerbate climate change and its associated impacts, such as rising temperatures and changing weather patterns. Additionally, some refrigerants can deplete the ozone layer, leading to increased ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

You cool it and run it through a metering devise.
1: Guage pressure measurement by supply the HIGH side and venting the LOW side to the atmosphere 2: Measurement of level of open tank by connecting the impulse line at the bottom of the tank to HIGH side and venting the LOW side 3: Measurement of level of closed tank with liquid and Gass interface by connecting the the impulse at the bottom of the tank to HIGH side and the impulse line at the top of the tank to LOW side of the transmitter capsules 4': Measurement of Vacuum by connecting the impulse line in LOW side and venting the HIGH side to the atmosphere 5: Measurement of absolute pressure by supply the HIGH side and blinding or blocking the the LOW side

what happens when refrigerant enters the condenser
The heat is released by heat exchangers in the atmosphere.
Compression is the most important stage happening in a VCC. We know that heat can not pass from low temperature to high temperature. Due to compression Boiling Point of a refrigerant increases above either ambinet temperature or above cooling water temperature and also refrigerant temperature is very high than abmient. Hence heat can flow from refrigerant to atmosphere. This allows sensible cooling first and below BP further high amount of latent heat is removed causing liquification of refrigerant which is not possible unless pressure is raised after evaporator. Hence Compressor is required.
venting them high enough to dissipate.
It came from the factory with R12 Freon. Due to the high cost of R12, I suggest you convert it over to R134. Any good A/C shop can do this. Remember, it is illegal to release refrigerant into the atmosphere. It is also illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak without first repairing the leak.
The refrigerant pressures are dependent on the type of refrigerant.
There isn't a 'drain hose'. Refrigerant is recovered through the schrader valve on the high pressure side of the system. This type of work should be done only by a certified tech, as not only is it illegal to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere, but handling refrigerant also poses significant dangers to people who don't know what they're doing.
One possibility is excessive refrigerant in the system.
