OK,,,,, lots of people have spare ac compressors laying around ( everyone is a
packrat , right? ).
They can not be used to make air compressors because the method of
lubrication is by the flow of oil mixed with coolant....
How would one make a vacuum pump which could be run with an electric motor
and could be left on over night to use for evacuating ac systems...
There must be some way to do this... I have about 6 good compressors... both
types... could I place a reciever dryer with oil in it upstream of it? Do I need to
tap the head and provide some metering device for small amounts of oil to be
injected ? Could I use one of the turbo oil jets to spray the bore from the
underside ?
I know this can be done, so no "it can't be done"s please,,,, It is just a machine
and physics...I have seen old style ones which were good for long evacuations... they just dripped the water out of a hole...
And lets get those answers posted quickly as I am about to start on my new
240d's ac..LOL...
Thanks, Greg
