it sounds like one for each type of refrigerant and possibly more than one of each depending on its capacity. cant put 100 pounds of freon in a 50psi tank

Yes, one for each type of refrigerant, this being because the systems do not use the same type of oils for the compressors/systems. Usually 30lb cylinders, by weight as well. There's a scale that is used to measure amount of refrigerant used so they know how much to charge a customer.
