An HVAC technician might place a refrigerant tank in a bucket of ice to help lower the pressure inside the tank during charging or recovery processes. Cooling the tank reduces the temperature of the refrigerant, which decreases its pressure and allows for safer and more efficient handling. This practice helps prevent over-pressurization and ensures that the refrigerant is transferred smoothly and effectively. Additionally, maintaining proper temperatures can help avoid potential hazards associated with high-pressure refrigerants.
The reason is that as the liquid evaporates in the tank and it cools it down and the vapor pressure (pressure in tank) is reduced and the evaporation rate decreases. Many refrigeration repair men have a bucket big enough to put their tank in and add hot water to keep the tank warm and get the freon to evaporate faster to speed up their project.

the tank may explode
A typical 30 lb tank of refrigerant 134a weighs around 44-46 lbs when filled with the refrigerant. A box containing a 30 lb tank of refrigerant 134a would weigh slightly more due to packaging materials, but the weight should still be around the same range.
The empty weight of a 30-pound 410A refrigerant tank typically ranges from 20 to 30 pounds, depending on the manufacturer and design of the tank. This weight refers to the tank itself without any refrigerant inside. Always refer to the specific tank's label or manufacturer's documentation for precise specifications.
simply disconnec the gas line from the carb and aim it into a bucket and turn the gas on until the tank completely empties into the bucket
get a bucket
An empty R-410A refrigerant tank typically weighs around 30-40 pounds, depending on the size and design of the tank. It is important to always check the specific weight of the tank as it can vary between manufacturers.
You will need a set of refrigerant gauges, a tank of refrigerant and a refrigerant scale. You will also know technical knowledge of superheat and subcool and be EPA certified.

The pig's in thr manhole,the flag's on top of the water tank and the bucket is in the cloud land above.
Use a vacuum pump that pulls it into a tank.
