How To Transform A Refrigerator Motor Into A Simple Compressor.
An old refrigerator can be disassembled to evaluate the parts that are still usable and can be repurposed. One of these parts is its split phase motor, a type of motor used widely in refrigerators. A split phase motor is commonly used in other appliances such as washing machines, air conditioners, mixer grinder, floor polishers, blowers, centrifugal pumps, and lath machines. Due to its prominence in industrial applications, you cannot simply throw this type of motor away together with your old refrigerator.
In this video, you will learn how to transform a refrigerator motor into a simple air compressor. Basically, an air compressor converts power into potential energy that is stored in pressurized air. It is an important device with a variety of applications, mainly to supply high-pressure and moderate-pressure clean air to gas cylinders, pneumatic HVAC control system valves, pneumatic tools, filling tires, and other large-scale industrial processes.
