Damaged refrigerant
It is essential to take measures to help release refrigerant from the compressor oil during refrigerant recovery when the refrigerant release valve is stuck closed. The release valve should be maintained at all times.

A refrigerant recovery machine is required.
All devices used for refrigerant recovery must be certified by the EPA. If the device was manufactured before November, 1993, It must be capable of recovering 80% of the refrigerant in the appliance. If the device was manufactured after this date, it must be capable of recovering 90% of the refrigerant.
If a recovery cylinder were filled with liquid refrigerant and allowed to warm up, the liquid refrigerant would begin to vaporize as it absorbs heat energy from the surroundings. As the temperature of the refrigerant increases, its pressure would also rise due to the temperature-pressure relationship defined by the refrigerant's specific properties. Eventually, the refrigerant would reach a point where it transitions completely into a vapor state, filling the recovery cylinder with refrigerant vapor.

This is most definitely not a DIY task. To do it properly, you need to first test the purity of the refrigerant, which takes special equipment to do, as does actual recovery and storage of the refrigerant.
R-12 refrigerant can be identified in a recovery cylinder by its unique chemical properties and color. R-12 refrigerant is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) with a pale yellow color. It can also be confirmed using a refrigerant identifier tool that can detect the specific type of refrigerant present in the cylinder.
