The refrigerant cylinder is heated in a tub of water to no more than 90 degrees F. Electric heating blankets manufactured for this purpose may also be used.
Azotropic will only have one boiling or condensing point for each system pressure negligible fractionation or temperature glide will occur Zeotropic will have a range of boiling and condensing points for each system pressure noticeable fractionationand glide will occur.

It is the characteristic smell of the refrigerant.
In an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.
A refrigerant is a substance that absorbs and releases heat in cooling systems.
Lighter, as the refrigerant is boiled off, and colder, as it has absorbed heat, and has a lesser pressure to reflect the current temperature / pressure relationship for the type of refrigerant

Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side

king valve
Vaporizing the refrigerant
The King valve is closed, starving the low pressure side, creating more vacuum while charging with a liquid
A 1998 Nissan Altima uses 134a refrigerant. When charging the A/C system the correct pressure should always be used. An undercharged system will not cool properly and an overcharged system can cause the lines to fail.
Generally you charge a refrigeration system by weight, not by pressure or temperature. Say, for example, if you were adding refrigerant to a system, you might add a pound of refrigerant. You wouldn't add it until it was at a certain pressure. As for a consumer AC system in a vehicle, I couldn't tell you how much to add. Look for a reference of the amount of refrigerant in the system and start by adding half that amount maybe?
Liquid refrigerant charging of a system is normally accomplished in the liquid line. For example, when a system is out of refrigerant, liquid refrigerant can be charged into the king valve on the liquid line or receiver.
It means charging the A/C system with the proper kind and amount of refrigerant + oil. Overcharging the system will damage the compressor.
