Burn baby burn!
When the oil gets contaminated , it can develop hydrochloric ,hydrofluoric( etch glass anyone?) and olayic acids. It is my understanding that the freon does not get damaged.0 -
Damaged refrigerant
The refrigerant does get damaged, as the hydrofluoric and hydrofluoric acids are formed, in part, by the fluorine and the chlorine in R-22.

Damaged freon
If reusing the damaged freon ,does installing acid neutralizing filter driers reconstitute the freon back into an acceptable condition? I recover the freon thru filter driers, put the freon back into the same system, install acid F/D's , and I have no known problems. I have no repeat comp failurers, on the same system, so I believe I'm doing the proper thing!0 -
3 door reach in
We are talking what 18oz of refrigerant? Put nice clean freon in and a clean up dryer on the suction side. Also put a hh dryer on the liquid side and sleep easy my friend.0 -
18oz
How about 18lbs.or 10lbs. And since I don't have any repeat burnouts I do sleep easy. Small stuff, no problem replaceing the freon.0 -
