If a refrigeration system is short on refrigerant, it can lead to inadequate cooling, causing the system to work harder and consume more energy. This inefficiency can result in increased wear and tear on components, potentially leading to system failure. Additionally, low refrigerant levels can cause ice buildup on evaporator coils, further impairing performance and efficiency. Regular maintenance and prompt leak detection are essential to prevent these issues.

what happens when refrigerant enters the condenser
burns
In a condenser, the refrigerant transitions from a gas to a liquid state. As the hot, gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, it releases heat to the surrounding environment, typically through fins or coils. This heat exchange causes the refrigerant to cool and condense into a high-pressure liquid. The resulting liquid refrigerant is then directed to the expansion valve to continue the refrigeration cycle.
The differential temp on the thermostat is set too close or your are short of refrigerant. I would have it looked at soon, short cycling is not good for the compressor.
Short answer is that you don't. If you need to do this, then you have a certified shop recover and store it.
the sys has too much lubricant
In the compressor of a refrigeration system, the temperature of the refrigerant increases as it is compressed. This occurs because the compressor reduces the volume of the refrigerant, causing its pressure and temperature to rise due to the principles of thermodynamics. As the refrigerant is compressed, it transforms from a low-pressure gas to a high-pressure gas, resulting in a significant increase in temperature before it moves to the condenser.
It looks smaller and then it is short :D
In the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding air or substance, causing it to evaporate and turn into a low-pressure gas. This phase change allows the refrigerant to cool down the air passing through the evaporator coils before it is circulated back into the space being cooled.
In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat to the surrounding air or water, causing it to condense from a high-pressure gas to a high-pressure liquid. This process is essential for removing heat from the refrigerant so it can be efficiently circulated back into the system to collect more heat from the space being cooled.
