I just salvaged an AC compressor and was disappointed to find that it stalls out at about 60 PSI. Should I junk it or is it of some use.
I guess I could feed it compressed air from my shop compressor (100 PSI max) to get it to a higher pressure. Also I guess it might be adequate for vacuum bagging composites.
I am still looking for a better one.

Sounds like there was a reason it was thrown away

That actually increases the load on the compressor... it speeds up fill times but makes the compressor work harder. It wouldn't make your compressor stall at a higher pressure.PeteS wrote:I guess I could feed it compressed air from my shop compressor (100 PSI max) to get it to a higher pressure.

JSR has already said everything - apparently there was a reason it was thrown away
