replacing air conditioner compressor?
Laura P asked:
It seems the a/c compressor on a summer house i bought it too small for the house and has trouble cooling it off. I am thinking of replacing it, but even though the furnace is 20 years old it works like a charm (the heat is aweseom, just a/c stinks) My questions are do you have to change both the compressor and the furnance on a system that old. What is cost range for an 1100 sq foot house in northeast (NJ) Thanks!

auto boost?
Billy J asked:
ok so i know s/c and t/c are compressed air, i was wondering what if you were to hook on a small air compressor on to the intake, and boost about 5-6 psi’s when you need it. I was thinking of installing the compressor in the trunk, running lines to the intake, then a pressured type button behing the pedal so when you step on all the way for accelaration it would open up the lines that go into the intake and realese the air into the intake.,,..i just want to know if something like this is possible and if it would acutaly give you a boost,.

Grant Y asked:
I am going to start doing an apprenticeship for automotive tech work, like a standard mechanic does and i need to know what some good starter tools would be because i need to know because i can’t just walk in there with no tools or at least crappy ones. So far I have: Rotary tools, an electric drill, some wrenches and sockets, punches and chissle’s, ratchets, a small air compressor and a small crappy tool box with 3 small drawers and the top storage place, and a screw driver set, oh and alot of allan keys. Specific answers are very appreciated. thank you.

Why does an air conditioner use so much electricity?
Radial Wave asked:
Before you classify this as a stupid question, think of this. The small motor that turns the fan at the top of the unit is maybe 2 amps and uses about 20 dollars worth of electricity in a month, if that much. However, the compressor makes my electric meter spin like a wild top out of control. Running the air conditioner makes my electric bill increase by roughly three hundred or more dollars each month — or more. By the way, my unit is only eight years old. Does anyone realize that true wealth and prosperity beyond imagination await the man that invents a genuine energy-saving compressor? So here is my real question : What the heck is in a compressor that sucks the electricity like a vampire? What could possibly be inside a compressor that uses so much juice?

Air Compressor Question?
asked:
I was wondering.
When making an indy film, a compressed air “squib” can be a lot safer for a gun shot than a explosive squib.
I was wondering. On a simple 2 gallon air compressor, like this one : http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=119 can I store the air in the tank, and release it all at once? That’d be perfect for what I need. The air coming out would pop the blood pack, resulting in a believable gun shot.
Thanks for any help.
Regards
Joe

Can a seized air-conditioner compressor by bypassed on a 97 Plymouth Breeze?
Seth M asked:
Today my 97 Plymouth Breeze started smoking. The smoke was coming from the air-conditioner compressor (or the belt). The car was brought to a main-stream auto repair shop, where I was told I would need a new compressor and various other parts totaling $1200 + tax. I asked if the A/C could just be bypassed and was told it could not.
After speaking with various other people and auto-parts stores, I discovered that not only was it possible to bypass the A/C, but there is actually a part called a ‘bypass pulley.’ I was also told that by simply turning the A/C off, the belt would be free to move.
I guess my question is really how to bypass the A/C and would turning the A/C off fix the problem on a seized compressor (vs. just a compressor that simply wasn’t working, but not seized).
To anyone who previously answered and has come back:
This afternoon I had the option of towing the car to a different location (Thanks to AAA). Of course. Anything to get it out of the mainstream mechanics’ shop.
A few people around town had told me I could simply turn the A/C off and the clutch would disengage and allow the belt to free-wheel. We figured that since the tow truck was on the way, we might as well test that. So we turn the A/C off and fired her up. After about 10 minutes, everything seemed to be running fine. , so I drove the car home. When I arrived, the I lifted the hood and smelled no burning and everything was still running fine.
Granted, this was not the smartest option, and I will still try to have it looked it through less money-hungry eyes. If anyone has any input like “Don’t do that again!” then feel free to post. It may have just been luck.,
Thanks.

air filter for compressor: intake or outlet?
asked:
I want to put a filter on my shop air compressor. Do the ones they commonly sell at the hardware store go on the intake or exhaust of the compressor? Do they filter out any moisture, or just particles?

How can I store hydrogen gas into a pressurized tank using a home compressor?
annonymous asked:
I have made a fuel cell that can produce 2 liters of H2 per minute. I am wondering how i can take that gas and pressurize it into a LP tank from a forklift. I have an extra air compressor to fully commit to doing this on. By using an LP configuration on my vehicle I would like to burn H2 gas. How can I pressurize it into a tank.
