Free POS refrigeration compressor

Nov 22, 2006 8 Replies

Some dusty POS military surplus "refrigeration compressor" complete with a pulley and control cable (engages pulley, I suppose). There is some sort of clutch. Looks like it came from a vehicle. If anyone is interested, I can take pictures. If not, it goes into garbage. I think that it will just about fit into a priority mail flat rate box $8.10.

Greetings Ig, I've been looking for a clutch/pulley assembly and your description sounds like just the thing. Where do I send the $8.10? Cheers, Eric R Snow

Let me take a picture and post it to make sure that it is what you need. I will also check if it fits into a priority mail box, if I do not do so tonight, remind me please, I will appreciate the reminder.

Shipping is $8.10 if paid by check or MO, $9 if paid via paypal (due to their fees). The item itself is free. Local pickup is free (west of Chicago).

Eric, let me know if you want it.

It looks OK. Does the clutch work? If energized with 12 volts it should grab. Or maybe 24 volts. If it does grab I'll send off the money right away. Thanks, eric

Yes, it is 12v and yes, it works, I checked with my power supply PP-1104B/G. Without voltage, the pulley spins freely, but with 12v, it engages the compressor.

It's a compressor formerly known as a Borg/Warner York!

Same thing you'd use for a car air conditioner, though maybe a larger size for running a reefer unit for a semi-trailer. They run the clutch so they can start the little engine unloaded, then clutch in the compressor as needed.

The R-134 mention on the label tags it as to the type of seals and synthetic oil fill.

Can also be converted for mobile compressed air use, though you have to modify it with a way to check the crankcase oil level and fill it externally. One place that does it is

Sounds like there are some interesting possibilities for Eric now...
