While heading down the alley on my way to my friends machine shop to have some V4 surface ground I drive by the back door of a plumbing and heating shop.
There sitting in the alley beside the trash can is a yellow two wheel cart with a bunch of gauges,hoses and control buttons on it. Slam on the brakes throw her into R and take a closer look. It has an electric motor and a pump of some sort on it. Looks salvagable to me.
Knock on the door to check it out. Guy inside tells me its trash and if I want to haul it away he will help me load it up. Had to ask what it was, I just about hit the ground when he told me it was a referigeration vacuum and injection pump. The controls were shot and a couple of gauges were broken and it would be to expensive to repair.
This thing has a fuctional vacuum pump with a conventional .37 KW electric motor bolted to it. Along with a .75 kw sealed fan cooled motor attached to a transfer pump. The gauges on the pumps go to 50bar.
Both motors run and the vacuum pump almost sucked my thumb into a 1/2 inch copper line.
Looks like a future wood stabilizer to me. How many horse power is a .75 kw motor??? The sealed motor might end up as a buffer drive it's rated at 2800 RPM.
I was in such a hurry to get home I almost forgot to drop off the V4 at the machine shop.
