air conditioner compressor oil and my setup

c11man · Mon Dec 07, 2009 7:37 pm

well im ok with not haveing push to connect fittings because its just for a compressor hose. and the hose i am going to get is a 950psi nylon version of the larger hose your talking about. i can get 25ft of it for only $8 so i think its pretty good

I am sure there are push to connect fittings rated that high available in the US... the only problem is to find them

you would have to find a good way of connecting them as they are tough and rather rigid... I guess you can try compression fittings for copper tubes

how much pressure can you get this little guy to?

poland, i am going to use compression fittings for nylon tubing. the tube and the fittings are made for each other so i know it will work. and if im not gonna be doing setups like yours so i dont need to be able to take it apart and put it back together

elite, i have taken it up to 600 but the only reason i stopped is becasue of my gauge. onece i get my new one i will test up to 750psi

can you link me to the seller you bought it from:]
how long does it take to pump to 600?

thats the pump i have. and 600psi depends on alot of things, what inlet pressure, what volume. so i can not answer that question yet

(not posted in a while) i found somtimes you get a gud one thta will go althe way up to 1000psi but some struggle to get to 600 i think it depends alot on the condition and the compresion ration ie dead space ontop of the piston.

hes looking at the exact same new compressor... so everything you just mentioned is not a factor.

also this compressor doesnt even have a piston

also you do realize that the entire shell is pressurized not just the hose, you were realy filling a bit over 10cubic inches

are u sure when i last riped one apart it was a a piston and the out pit went directlay out the case buy a thin copper pipe and the motor was mounted on springs

c11man · Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:17 pm

yes i am very sure. what you looked at was a fridge compressor. this is a air conditioner compressor and these generly are rotary compressors and fill the shell with the pressureised air. i have also taken apart a broken fridge compressor and it was just like you described so i know what your talking about

maggotman · Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:30 pm

surleay the outlet is conected directleay to the case still tho

c11man · Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:03 pm

it is not. from the pump it goes right into the shell.
