Reusable containers for refrigerants under high pressure should be tested and date stamped at least every 5 years as per regulations such as DOT or ASME standards. This ensures the safety and integrity of the container for continued use with high-pressure refrigerants.
Mixing refrigerants can lead to changes in the pressure and temperature of the system, which could potentially create a hazardous situation. While it may not directly cause an explosion, it can result in equipment malfunction, leaks, or other safety risks. It is crucial to follow manufacturer guidelines and industry standards when handling refrigerants to prevent accidents.
Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.
High pressure = High temperature
Many refrigerants cause damage to the ozone layer. These are CFC's.

The difference would be due to the different refrigerants used by each which is not given. Also the refrigerator will have a more constant condenser pressure because it is within an environment where the ambient temperature varies little.END
You need to specify what kind of system. Automotive AC systems and home AC systems use different refrigerants. That, along with the temperature/pressure relationship and ambient air temperature, all factor into what your high pressure (and, consequentially, low pressure) side should read on your manifold pressure gauge.

It depends on the ambient condensing temperature. A pressure temperature comparison chart for 134Aa can be found at http://www.csgnetwork.com/r134apresstempconv.html Different refrigerants condensence and evaporate at different temps/pressure
HFC refrigerants
Inorganic refrigerants are refrigerants that do not contain carbon atoms in their molecular structure. Common examples include ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). These refrigerants are often used in industrial applications and have varying environmental impacts.
A refrigerator is basically an air conditioning system. There is a high (discharge) and a low (vacuum) side to such systems. As it goes through the system, the refrigerant will change state (e.g., high pressure vapor to high pressure liquid, high pressure liquid to low pressure liquid, low pressure liquid to low pressure vapor, low pressure vapor back to high pressure vapor). This facilitates the absorption of heat from the refrigerator compartment and the exchange of that heat to the ambient air. What you're seeing there are the pressure readings (in psig) of the high pressure and low pressure sides of that system. Your refrigerator and an automotive AC system use different refrigerants, and thus have different system operating temperatures. While those numbers would be excessively high on an automotive system, I don't know if that's the case with a refrigerator. You'd need to inquire with a qualified service professional on the matter of what your refrigerator's operating pressures should be.
A high pressure systems has a high pressure center.
The pressure and the specific refrigerant properties determine the temperature at which a refrigerant vaporizes. As pressure increases, the boiling point of the refrigerant also increases. Different refrigerants have different boiling points at different pressures.
Mixing refrigerants can lead to changes in the pressure and temperature of the system, which could potentially create a hazardous situation. While it may not directly cause an explosion, it can result in equipment malfunction, leaks, or other safety risks.
