I have a a Chinese made 12/24v 80L fridge freezer that uses a compressor that cosmetically looks very similar to the coke can unit displayed. I managed to pick it up new for under $250 Aust . They are a little unreliable I hear after talking with a local fridge mech .

They don't fix them , just throw them out. I've been keen to get my hands on a dead one for some fun , seems from what I can gather the compressors are fine , its electronics fails due to water ingress that kills them. Driving the compressor with an off the shelf 3 phase "Brushless motor controller" should be no issue.
