Danfoss Maneurop MT57HL4A V Twin AC Compressor

[4iwilllive]

do a video about a rotary horizontal compressor

[4iwilllive]

do a video about a turbocor compressor

[MrVashnavi]

if im understanding correctly as i have a little bit of expierence with 3ph stuff lines 1 and 2 are active and neutral then 2 and 3 you put some sort of run cap between them i saw it on photonicinductions channel so have a look there if not sure but i think thats right.

[krisachar]

Nice video...

love,

kris.

[Robonza]

I wonder if you could use your smart drive motor to supply the three phase power here?

[Aussie50]

if it could be re-wound and regulated to 415V 50hz it could work, but I'm not sure if it would make enough current to run the compressor without burning somthing out.

[coolbluelights]

another monster motor in that thing! it really looks insanely powerful!

[HDXFH]

chinese capacitor right?

[Aussie50]

Aussie made, just the wrong type.

[HDXFH]

those housings make great bells

[HDXFH]

is it french made

[67tr876]

you think it would make a good air Compressor ?

[Aussie50]

yeah, apart from the excess oil coming out.

[mattyvt93]

Nice video mate. :) so roughly 47 Hp it is?

[Aussie50]

HP in cooling yes,

Motor HP would be much smaller, maybe 2 - 3

[mattyvt93]

ahh alright :) I understand now.

[pow0006]

Funny if you could turn that compressor into an internal combustion engine.

imagine that!

[Aussie50]

it could possibly be made into a 2 stroke, but the machining work on the block would be too elaborate for me.

[acthetech]

How much KW or Tons

[Aussie50]

it could vary a bit based on system configuration but I'd guess around 10 tons.

[FedeBo91]

the best part is when the capacitor has started to smoke!!!!!!!!!!

[douro20]

Are you going to keep the top housing? It could come in handy.

[Aussie50]

yep

[30GB]

lucky that cap didnt explode like a grenade

[Aussie50]

yeah, I wasn't shorting it out like the one in the condensing unit.

plus this one has a rubber plug that popped out to releive the pressure.

[diymania]

Puke! capacitors stink when they take a smoke :-/

[Aussie50]

yeah, that one was filled with castor oil I think.

[V8Jagnut]

cool vid.

[67tr876]

nice ! how would it run on 3 phase ? better then when you had it runing good on 1 phase.

[Aussie50]

it would be much smoother, and have more HP

[67tr876]

o cool btw how much hp on that ?

[Aussie50]

47Hp I think

[67tr876]

wow cool

[amfan12]

Yeah, usually run capacitors are metal can, aren't they?

[Aussie50]

usually, though i have a fair collection of plastic case ones too, thats how it got mixed up.

[trentontrading]

so now did you just convert a 3 phase compressor motor to 1phase ? When you get a chance could you demonstrate how that's done ? I pass a lot of 3 phase power tools by because I always assumed I can't use them in my garage.

thanks

[TehMG]

It's done by connecting the third phase through a capacitor. It will allow the motor to run but power output will be less compared to running it on 3-phase.

As such, it is not a suitable permanent solution. If you wish to run 3-phase power tools you should use a rotary phase converter.

[Aussie50]

agreed, its only for crude tests like this.

I wouldn't risk cooking a good 3 phase motor with it.

[cheetawolf]

@trentontrading i think converting has something to do with the wiring. its called open star or delta or something.
