To recover and recharge refrigerant from an HFO-1234yf system, a shop will need a dedicated refrigerant recovery machine specifically designed for HFO-1234yf, as well as appropriate recovery cylinders that are compatible with this refrigerant. Additionally, technicians should use hoses and fittings rated for HFO-1234yf to ensure safety and prevent contamination. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is also recommended to protect against potential exposure during the recovery process.
Take it to a shop that does ac work and have them recover, evacuate and recharge the system but the question I have is why do you want to change the refrigerant?
The only legal and safe way to do it is to have a shop recover the refrigerant with an RRR (Recover, Recycle, Recharge) machine. Try your local community college if they offer a vocational program for mechanics... they might even pay you for the refrigerant they recover.
To recover and recharge refrigerant from an HFO-1234yf system, a shop needs a specialized recovery machine designed for HFO-1234yf, as traditional R-134a equipment is incompatible. Additionally, the shop should have appropriate hoses and manifolds that are compatible with the refrigerant, along with protective equipment to ensure safety. It’s also essential to have a refrigerant identifier to verify the refrigerant type before recovery and charging. Proper training and certification in handling refrigerants are crucial to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.

You need to recover the refrigerant. Remove the evaporator case and disassemble it. Replace the valve and recharge the system. It is best to install a receiver drier at the same time.
How much refrigerant used to recharge the AC system in a Honda Civic depends on how much the system needs. There will be a gauge on the refill bottle which is tell the user how much is needed in that one application.
There are two ports on the air conditioner compressor on a Montana. Attach the refrigerant to the lower port and recharge the system.
The process that requires you to recover refrigerant from a system and store it in an external container is Recovery. This involves removing the refrigerant from the system and transferring it to a separate container for proper handling and disposal.
There are two ports on the air conditioning compressor on the Mercury Mountaineer. The refrigerant to recharge the system is to be connected to the lower port.
Use a vacuum pump that pulls it into a tank.
To recharge a refrigerator, you will need to hire a professional technician who is certified to handle refrigerant gases. They will safely remove the old refrigerant, vacuum the system, and then add the correct amount of new refrigerant to ensure the refrigerator works efficiently. It is important to never attempt to recharge a refrigerator yourself as it can be dangerous and may cause damage to the appliance.
That is only partially true. Legally you must repair the leak before adding refrigerant. You do not have to remove the Freon and recharge it with fresh Freon. However, this is what I would do if it were my car. I am assuming this is a 1996 or older vehicle which contains Freon (R12). I would have them remove all the R12, and give me credit for what they recover. R12 is very expensive, so don't give it away. I would then have the leak repaired and convert the vehicle to R134a. If it is newer than 1996, just repair the leak and recharge the system. You might want to go to a different repair shop, as what they are telling you is only half true. I would not trust this shop.
