Level 2
What tools/equipment are needed for properly removing R22 from my dehumidifier and replacing it with R290? I know R22 has to be properly disposed of, but the "how" and "where" I do not know. How is lubricating oil handled?

Level 3
What tools/equipment are needed for a complete Frankenstein reconstruction: removal of refrigerant; cutting piping; adding new piping; TXV; etc.
All of these scenarios have been covered in previous EcoRenovator postings.

You have two powerful search tools available to you at the top of each and every EcoRenovator page. One tool searches only EcoRenovator, with a built in search engine. The other does the same thing, but uses Google to do the work. The second one is best.

Sincerely,
