Re: Fridge compressor for vacuum pump?



Small diameter line is the high pressure "discharge" line; large diameter
line is low pressure "inlet" (suction) line.

Dear All

I just managed to rip out a compressor from an old freezer (doing my bit
for the ozone layer in the process!) and was wondering which bit sucked
and which blows - the big pipe at the top which went into the freezer or
the one at the back that went to the radiator? It's also got three mains
wires, but I haven't opened the junction box yet so maybe I'll work it
out then.

Anyone used these as a vacuum pump before? what sort of performance can
I expect?
