Has anyone used a A/C compressor from a car? - XtremeSystems Forums

I'm an automotive refrigeration engineer, and that is a Sanden 508. The power they draw...sounds simple, but depends on the LOAD! It's crazy to say they draw a fixed amount of power! Depends on the pressure ratio and RPM that it's working against. You could hook this up to an 1/10hp motor, with the appropriate pulley ratio to work against a given pressure ratio, it would be turning very slowly, and have small refrigerating capacity. You could hook this up to a 10hp motor and spin it at 7000 RPM against a very high pressure ratio, and a have high refrigerating capacity perhaps as high as 8kW.
