  • can you tell me how much pressure can those compressors handle without getting overloaded ????

  • @ramiretz I'm not sure on the peak pressure but I would guess it would be happy at around 200psi? may not restart without a hard-start kit tho.

  • @Aussie50 wow 200psi... thats great

    i bought an super silent compressor and its set to 87psi from factory... i set it up to 116psi now but i was not sure how much those little compressor motors can handle so i stopped with 116psi ....

    i read on a page from a fridge company that they work in normal home fridges with 116-130 psi

    would be interressting to test out how much pressure they can handle...

    maybe u can test it in a video ????

    thank you for your answer

  • @ramiretz R134a compressors are a bit low on pressure but if you can use a R22 compressor, they are rated much higher!, so 200psi would be effortless for it.

    but yeh, head pressure in 134a systems is around 130psi, so start there and see how it behaves.

  • can a fridge pump be used to pump water?

  • @260830107 no, its all cast iron and it will rust up as soon as its stopped for a amount of time, like overnight.

    likewise it would have to be externally driven since water and electric motors is a bad idea.

  • @Aussie50 thank you for the info...

    i have set it now to 130psi and it works fine ;)

    if u have time u can watch on my profile a video wich i made from the compressor...

    unfortunely i dont have any info about the compressor motor itself

  • so i want to take one of these and make a air compressor and i was wondering if self lubricated or would i have to lube it from the intake like an ac compressor in a car

  • Great vid, thanks for sharing this!

  • I believe you can make a small engine out of the compressor parts ;)

  • are theses self lubricated or do you have to lube it from the intake 

  • This is a Danfoss!
