1. refrigerator compressor (score: 1): Author: "Chadwick E. Labno" <clab@bellsouth.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:10:25 -0400; I heard a refrigerator compressor can be used as a vacuum pump to pull a vacuum on an automobile, or other, AC systems. Anyone have experience with this? Chad; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00071.html (7,006 bytes)

Works great - just silver solder a connection onto the suction line and there you are. I let it suck a little refrigerant oil on occasion, bu; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00072.html (7,530 bytes)
3. RE: refrigerator compressor (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 18:02:03 -0700; It works OK if you're just trying to suck the air out, but doesn't pull a hard enough vacuum to boil out any accumulated moisture (especially from the dryer). So if you have a moisture detector in t; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00073.html (7,415 bytes)
4. Re: refrigerator compressor (score: 1): Author: "Karl Vacek" <KVacek@Ameritech.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:10:10 -0500; I can pull a vacuum equal to whatever the ambient pressure is, according to my gauge set. Never had a moisture problem. Heck, some people use vane pumps or even those venturi gadgets - now THOSE can'; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00074.html (7,991 bytes)
5. RE: refrigerator compressor (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 21:45:38 -0700; That's true. But your gauge set won't accurately read the difference between 25000 microns (which is about 29" of Hg) and 1500 microns (about 29.8" as I recall), which is what it takes to pull water; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00075.html (8,850 bytes)

I was offered the compressor free (he wants to use it when he needs it so I'm more like storing it) and you can't beat free except if it can be useful and looks like; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00077.html (7,146 bytes)

OK, Randall - but another thing to remember about all this is that the absolute volume of water in an HVAC system should be miniscule - enough that the receiver/drier should; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00080.html (8,908 bytes)
9. RE: refrigerator compressor (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 20:11:38 -0700; Exactly. You have no idea how much vacuum it takes to boil water, and don't care. Ok, maybe my gauge set is "abnormal". I've never seen one that even _claims_ to be accurate to less than 1 percent .; /html/shop-talk/2006-08/msg00081.html (8,917 bytes)
