A tip for diyers. Old fridges and freezers make great boxes to store paints in. They keep them from freezing in the winter. Obviously you dont plug them in or turn them on. But when you gut one like this or have a dead or old one dont chunk it.
I built one of these about a year ago, I put a foam paint roller pad, the 5" size i cut them to 3" and they fit perfect, on the tubes that draws in the air to keep any dirt out of the compressor body. I would recommend covering the fan blade so no one gets hurt.

Guy builds a compressor that works and people are telling him how to turn a screw. I like it It would be neat to know whether you can run things like a Dynabrade sander or an impact tire lug wrench.
2 things :) First: you won't cool the compressors with that fan :) the compressors are cooled with the intake of air / gas, second if you don't discharge the compressor lines with the regulator you'll have a bad start and the compressors will switch off termically close one of the inlets of the tank and the compressors air out should be connected to the regulator also
Nah mate, you're wrong about the cooling part. The air that gets compressed releases a lot of heat into the compressors. The fan is useful for cooling them down. In a fridge there's usually a plastic cover on top of the compressor. That's where the water that condenses in the fridge runs off to. When the water heats up from sitting on top of the hot compressor is evaporates and cools the compressor. So the fan is actually a very good idea.
These compressors are designed so that the stator is cooled by the refrigerant returning from the evaporator. The fan is to cool the exchanger or condenser, helping the thermodynamic cooling cycle. So it doesn't really help much to cool the compressor motor.
My only critique is that you need to have the tank pressure tested to at LEAST 20% higher psi than you will have the cut off set as. The tank was originally designed for far higher pressures, but you don't know how pitted the inside is from moisture, so the testing is at least a good idea.
Hi you say this tank he's using was designed for much higher pressures do you know how much? And do you know how heavy it is? And when full of gas how heavy then?
@ Don Natalie Lucas, I’ve been watching some compressed air videos, there’s a surprising lack of knowledge not only around good practice but more worryingly the devastating effects of compressed air when it goes wrong. From using propane tanks, to tyre inflation one guy is aiming for 300psi. Just hope people who are unsure what they’re doing just buy an off the shelf compressor.
@@hitop2365 I personally witnessed the aftermath of an air tank explosion over 35 years ago. Everyone was fortunate to have not been there when it happened because the amount of devastation would have easily killed us. It was also good that a vehicle wasn't in the shop because the damage would have cost thousands of dollars to repair. A portable air compressor (I think it was a 30 gallon tank) that was rated to operate at 150psi had a sticking shut off switch that wouldn't shut off until around 175psi. It also was an older unit that had been placed under the corner of a farm shop bench made of rough cut 2x8 wood. It had not been pulled to be drained regularly & would only get drained when there was a significant amount of water coming out of the hose. We would unplug it when not in use, so the nobody worried about changing the cut off valve immediately. It was slated to the "next trip to town" status. One night we had forgotten to unplug it after working in the shop. About midnight there was an explosion loud & violent enough to be felt in the house about 100 yards away. When we got t the shop, there was a corner of the concrete block building blown out about from ground level to the 4-5 foot high mark & around 10 feet down the wall. Pieces of the boards from the bench were strewn about as well as parts of the 3 layers of 2" thick wood from the edge of the sliding door. Inside there were parts of the air tank blown into the ceiling, the door, the opposite side wall 30" away, & into the 14ga toolbox in the opposite side corner. Looking at the parts showed that the tank was pitted in the lower 1/4 level. We knew the cut oof device was defective but had not even thought about the safety pop off, which was found & was stuck shut. The motor was located nearly halfway to the house & the compressor unit was obliterated. We learned several valuable lessons that day. The best were that the tank MUST be drained EVERY day, to periodically check the pop off, & replace the cut off device IMMEDIATELY when it is defective.
wonder i had mad one like that, from LPG gas tank,BUT first i removed all nuts and taps, then i cleaned inwards, to remove rust, then i filled it with EPOXY paint for rust protection, and then WALLA loll, wish u did that so the tank will last more then your life, ,great work mate
True, the oil was supposed to be drained, and replaced. I think the oil it uses Is polyester oil Polyester Oil (POE oil) is a type of synthetic oil developed especially for refrigeration compressors. The compressors will fail after about a year or two from lack of lubrication because of what you said. Since the oil in the compressor is very little, it wont do any good as an air compressor. I know it happened to me.
Obavezno dodaj kakve filtere na usis zraka, ništa specijalno samo da zaustavi prašinu. Bilo bi poželjno imat i sigurnosni ventil, ako presostat zakaže ode sve u zrak. Najveći problem je zapravo šta ti kompresori imaju ulje koje cirkulira zajedno sa rashladnim plinom, a sad kad je sustav otvoren to ulje će kadtad nestat i kompresori će zaribat. Inaće odličan projekt za početnike, samo tako nastavi :)
nice 1 bro i was planning to make like this when i got home to philippines. from now im in japan i cant go home because of this pandemic shit... God Bless bro thanks 😊
I hope your poor daughter wasn't too upset daddy stole her stabilisers? .. so I have one of these compressors, I was handed a compressor and a large old gas tank. I had visions of combining, similar to you. My question is, the compressors you used, how and when would you add/need to add oil to them? The compressor I was given is half the size of the bottle you used but the LPG tank is about 5 foot tall. Could you in theory have 5 or 10 of these fridge compressors all working together.. in theory. But what about oil etc?
I would have kept the condensor and turned it into a dryer/cooler. Lots of water going into that tank otherwise. Given the very high pressure these things are capable of, a small HP intermediate tank and regulator would allow you to have super dry air going into the main tank
You shall add safety cover for fan, and air filter for air intake. I hope if you can measure noise or show compressor voice, thanks. Also I think you can improve control to run only one compressor if no high demand
I did this as a kid to power airbrush. Thing to watch is the compressors spit their lube oil out with the air. In a fridge its a loop so never gos dry. Your oil will be in tge tank with water with no way to libe the compressors. You can see them spit oil on your finger pressure trst. Good effort tho
very nice ! i would have a oil bath aircleaner on it to help lube the system, and make oil drain refill with automatic transmission fluid :) but man what a nice little rig there!
Does it take 9 minutes and 45 seconds to reach 8 bars? but that is a lot, it would not do to paint, because when you are painting the compressor stays on
When you get any tank that was used for air .... Inside it there might be a lot of rust.... Fill it up with white vinegar to help it soften all the inside rust then after two three days being filled with vinegar put a rag inside it after you have emptied it and shake it around inside there so that the rag can rub off all that rust inside it you can put a cup of water to help the rag become heavier and you'll see how clean it is inside, do that only with a rag two three times that way in the future the tank will not explode because of the rust eating through the inside of it
always put wire on opposite side of screwing direction... thus your ground wire should have been on bottom so when you tighten, it will pull the wire into the clockwise direction of screw.. if you put on opposite side it will push wire out instead of pulling in. not a bad idea... these fridge compressors pump very high pressures too, just not much volume (r134a are capable of somewhere upwards of 600-800 psi)
Connecting the motors in series (the air output of one to the input of the other) might be a better idea. And/or a one way valve. That way, one motor helps the other to overcome the growing pressure on the tank faster
Running in parallel is a better option as they dont have a huge output. These compressors can exceed 850psi so overcoming pressure isnt an issue. At best this pair of compressors will deliver 1.8cfm so it will take a while to fill the tank. I didnt see an unloader in the video which is very bad news for the valves in the compressors.
@@atomizer2665 I get what you mean and parallel or series may not be a huge difference when blowing air, but for a vacuum pump you get a little extra vacuum if you connect them in series. I've seen that configuration, same compressors connected in parallel and then in series. In parallel you reach around 80mBar of vacuum. In series you go down to 40mBar which, for things like silicon molding and resin casting, can make a huge difference
@@tricky2k You need them in parallel for air compressor purposes, it will double the output cfm. For vacuum, sacrificing half of the flow rate using the 2 stage (series) arrangement is no biggy.
Very good ideas, but what's the use of the fan? It is dangerous unguarded. It needs a safety valve as well as an additional protection if the pressure switch fails to cut out and there will be less risk to burst the tank. G. Cutajar. Malta.
Work is good, but there is a shortage You must make a frame around the fan, as well as filters to filter the air entering the refrigerator compressors The regulation of the hoses should be better than what I did I repeat my thanks to you
Great work, my friend, but allow me to ask what is the capacity of the refrigerator motor, and is a fire extinguisher with a capacity of approximately 8 liters, with a refrigerator motor of six horsepower and a pressure of 8 bar, will be a good work for simple use In the end, great job, thank you very much
A tip for diyers. Old fridges and freezers make great boxes to store paints in. They keep them from freezing in the winter. Obviously you dont plug them in or turn them on. But when you gut one like this or have a dead or old one dont chunk it.
They seal so make a good storage place for oil cans ect
Great tips thanks, btw i live in tropical country

Kindly tell me does this work well and is durable enough to last at least 3 years with out coil of compressor spoling

So great idea but whats lubricating the values inside without refridgerant?
How do the compressors stay lubricated since the oil that lubricates them is normally in the freon that flows through them?
True, the oil was supposed to be drained, and replaced. I think the oil it uses Is polyester oil
Polyester Oil (POE oil) is a type of synthetic oil developed especially for refrigeration compressors.
The compressors will fail after about a year or two from lack of lubrication because of what you said. Since the oil in the compressor is very little, it wont do any good as an air compressor. I know it happened to me.

How about lubrication for the motors (normally provided by the oil filling?
Refrigeration compressors such as these are filled with oil and sealed when they are manufactured, so no fuether oil is needed.
Why the external fan?
