this is a used r12 mini refridge compressor pulling 26in Hg. If anybody knows info on the compressor leave a comment. the model is 26069 SY (sanyo)

  • This hame made vacuum pump will not work a refrigerator compressor can only pull a 28.5 or 40,000 microns to get water to turn into water wapor you must reach a vacuum level of 29,3 15,000 microns or lower preferrable 500 microns

  • nice.....

  • I use one of these compressors for auto A/C work. They work fine as long as you keep them upright. I like the price best of all. I cut the screw-on fitting from a refrigerant can tap, drilled it out and soldered it onto the vacuum side tube. Now, my gauges can screw directly on the compressor.

  • probobly 30 inches mercury which would be about normal for a good deep vacuum pump

  • no such thing as 30 inches of vacuum, if you are using regular refrigeration gauges they are not accurate enough for high vacuum.

    

  • otro pendejo que no sabe explicar.....

  • according to my Physics professors, the only way to an absolute vacuum is to get to aboslute zero, whitch truely hasn't been done. We've gotten with in tenths of a degree of minus 273 degrees. Even space is not, nor cannot be a true vacuum. So you can "suck" with your pumps all you want you'll still never get to the altimate ATP = nothing, zero

  • @bladder1010 True

  • @gtasound Okay, but closed-loop, or not, "vacuum" is always expressed relative to atmospheric pressure. "Standard" atmospheric pressure at sea-level here on Earth is generally taken to be 14.696 PSIA (absolute pressure, as opposed to gauge pressure, ie., 1 ATM). The argument was made by someone in the comments that they thought you could generate a vacuum of < 0 PSIA. You simply can't, no matter what. *That's* what I was talking about.
