Accumulator freezing

What will cause the accumulator to frost over on the outside during a refrigerant recovery?

High ambient humidity and the cooling effects of refrigerant under lowering pressure due the evacuation/recovery perhaps?

Well sure that MIGHT be the case!

"Playing" at anything tends to be costly so be careful under that hood!

However if frost or moisture is collecting on the outside of the accumulator that's not due moisture in the A/C system.
