The decade of the 1990's has been a challenging time for the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry worldwide. Due to its vital role in the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer, provisions of the Montreal Protocol and its various amendments required the complete phase-out of chlorine-containing refrigerant such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Appliances such as window type air-conditioners, motor vehicle air-conditioners, and refrigerators, rely on ozone depleting refrigerants and their substitutes. In this case, the regulation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which prohibits the venting of refrigerants compounds to the atmosphere must be followed. Along this line of concern, educational institutions need to be aware of this technological gap specifically in developing programs in Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration for environmental protection against incorrect disposal of refrigerant. The aim of this study was to develop an Improvised Freon Extractor as an Innovative Trainer to help students and instructors in the Bachelor of Industrial Technology and
 Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering courses in their effective teaching-learning of lessons in Refrigeration and Air-conditioning subjects. The results of the study revealed that the developed innovative trainer contains the following parts: electrical parts - includes the dual capacitor, banana plug, compressor, fan motor, air swing motor, air swing motor switch, thermostat switch, and selector switch; nonelectrical parts - frame housing, frame cover, suction and discharge valve, caster wheels, filter receiver drier assembly and condenser. The Improvised Freon Extractor as an Innovative Trainer was also found to be suitable to serve as an alternative learning material that assists the learning of Refrigeration and Air-conditioning subjects in the Bachelor of Industrial Technology and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering courses
