It is not necessary to buy a compressor for painting works or packed wheels - you can make it with your own hands from the used parts and knots taken from the old technology. We will tell you about the designs that are collected from the primary materials.

In order to make a compressor from parts and used components, you need to prepare well: examine the scheme, find in the farm or buy some details. Consider several possible options for self-constructing an air compressor.

Air compressor from the details of the refrigerator and fire extinguisher

This unit works almost silently. Consider a scheme of a future design and make a list of necessary nodes and parts.

1 - tube for pouring oil; 2 - launch relay; 3 - compressor; 4 - copper tubes; 5 - hoses; 6 - diesel filter; 7 - gasoline filter; 8 - air inlet; 9 - pressure relay; 10 - Cross; 11 - Safety valve; 12 - tee; 13 - Receiver from the fire extinguisher; 14 - pressure reducer with pressure gauge; 15 - moisture meadow; 16 - Pneummatore

Required parts, materials and tools

The main elements are taken: the engine compressor from the refrigerator ( better production USSR) and a fire extinguisher's balloon that will be used as a receiver. If there is no available, then the compressor from the broken refrigerator can be searched in workshops on repair or in metal reception locations. The fire extinguisher can be purchased in the secondary market or attract familiar to finding, at work, which can be written off OKHA, OVP, OU by 10 liters. The body of the fire extinguisher must be safely emptied.

In addition, you will need:

• pressure gauge (as for a pump, water heater);
• diesel filter;
• filter for gasoline motor;
• pressure switch;
• electric toggle switch;
• pressure regulator (reducer) with pressure gauge;
• reinforced hose;
• plumbing, tees, adapters, fittings + clamps, hardware;
• materials for creating a frame - metal or wooden + furniture wheels;
• safety valve (for resetting overpressure);
• pneumature with self-painting (for connecting, for example, to the airbrush).

Another viable receiver turned out of a car without a carless wheel. Extremely budget, although not too productive model.

Receiver from the wheel

We offer you about this experience. Watch the video from the author of the structure.

Homemade craftsmen find the use of outdated refrigerator, in particular, the compressor of it. Unpretentious spare part with a small power is suitable for the invention of the engine, quite working homemade. The compressor from the refrigerator is a design placed in a housing that does not have a cumulative capacity. The electrical circuit is connected, so it is not necessary to change it. So you can make it possible to make a silent and inexpensive motor up to 6-7 atm., Which will be sure to use in the garage room for pumping tires, painting parts, airbrushing.

Possessing some kind of knowledge of tech and digestion to use schemes and instructions, you can convert a motor from a non-working refrigerator for anything, upgrading and adding sensors, relays, pressure gauges, receivers. Possible options:

1. Old rusty item will distill air, so it is enough to connect to the bus, turn on the network and start applying to pump tires from a bike, machines.
2. If you unscrew the oil filter at the car's tank, the compressor will be used to pump over the oil. The main thing is to constantly monitor the level of fluid and the voltage in the network, not neglect the safety measures even in the garage.

Reference! The compressor works quite slowly, so it does not pump more than 2 tires in a row. Also possible overvoltage in the network, the output of the unit is out.

Compressor for pumping tires from the refrigerator

To get an aggregate for rapid pumping wheels with a working pressure at an output of up to 3 atm., It will take:

• compressor;
• connection cable with fork;
• air filter from cars;
• oxygen hose for nozzles;
• spiral hose in the presence of removable adapters;
• air gun for swinging wheels;
• wires and clamps;
• screwdriver, pliers, knife.

Details about the main stages of work:

1. Sink up the handboard motor from the refrigeration radiator.
2. Pick the oxygen hose in accordance with the diameter of the nozzle.
3. Connect the air filter to the input of the compressor installation.
4. Cropped with a knife nozzle (out of plastic) for pumping air without closing the hole at the same time.
5. Take over the copper tube of the motor in different directions.
6. Place one air filter, at the output of the copper pipe - the second, clamping the locations of the compounds with a tape (self-pressing).
7. Attach the segment of the oxygen hose.
8. Connect a spiral hose by means of an adapter. Attach the air gun to swing the wheels.

The main thing is that the pressure in the filter and hoses is average. Additionally, you can enhance the air pistol trigger with a nylon screed so that there are no jumps.

Reference! Air filters (plastic) - weakness Installation. They can quickly burst while increasing tire pressure on 2-3 atmosphere. When assessing the design, it is important to disable the thermostat, marking contacts on the starter relay and isolating the wire so that it does not occur with random shock.

What can be made from the compressor from the refrigerator

Compressor from the refrigerator - an unit that can be useful after reworking for:

• pump pumping;
• pumping water;
• airbrushing with drawings (airbrushes) within the framework of special equipment;
• repair household appliances (large);
• pumping oil with installing a special receiver;
• pumping water from the water supply system, when replacing the (repair) of the water supply.

From the refrigerator, you can make different homemade units (internal combustion engines, internal combustion engines), which will be used for a long time and trouble-freely used in everyday life: air compressor for painting, airbrushing, tire pump, air pump for the purpose of purging mechanisms.

How to make a compressor from the engine

First prepare the tools:

• 2 hose (100 mm, 600 mm);
• receiver (suitable case from the old fire extinguisher);
• wire;
• clamps;
• gasoline filter from the car;
• pressure gauge;
• drill with drills;
• pliers;
• wooden board (base for design).

Let's start reworking with preparatory dismantling work:

• remove the compressor from the refrigerator, located at the bottom with the help of a curly screwdriver, pliers, a set of keys;
• we bite the pliers (nipples) 2 tubes from the cooling system and compressor;
• remove the launch relay (black box with wires), unscrew the mounts;
• snack wires;
• check the parts for the working condition, because it is not a fact that they are suitable for dismantling, if the refrigerator is old and has long been idle;
• slide the tubes to pass the air through them;
• we install the previously removed relay in place;
• screw the wiring with a fork to the wires located on the housing;
• wind the connection places with a tape;
• include in the outlet, if the air went out of the tubes, then the worker unit, otherwise the compressor from the fridge is broken or the wires are incorrectly connected;
• we take plastic container (2.5-3 l), we drill a few holes at the top;
• insert the tube from the compressor so that the input is located from the edge of the receiver in 200 mm, the output is inside the tank (from top of 10 mm);
• pour a resin;
• drill the hole for the nut in the metal case from the fire extinguisher (if not, it is welded from a sheet of metal sheet Detail to connect the receiver);
• insert the pressure gauge, screw, we weld;
• attach the receiver to the wire.

The homemade compressor should consist of three copper tubes: one - short, sealed at the end. When servicing, it will be enough to cut off the solder part, pour the filtered oil, pour again.

Alteration of the compressor from the refrigerator to the air

Homemade devices will be extended much more efficiently and cheaper than other factory counterparts. With the outdated refrigerator, you can create a compressor, knowing some technical features, having disassembled work. At the output will be silent, portable air appliance. The filter with the installation at the inlet of the motor is made of plastic containers. It remains to be purchased in the store locking regulatory reinforcement, such as valves and valves.

The built-in compressor is in any refrigeration unit. For alterations on the aircraft, it is enough to remove the item, equip the reinforcement parts. However, good cooling will be required. Otherwise, the device will not serve for a long time when contacting air. So, to pump the receiver up to 7 atm. The refrigeration unit should work for at least 15 minutes. Yes, and this volume of air may not be enough, for example, for pumping the wheel from the car 1 time.

Another nuance is compressor oil. The compressor at the working refrigerator works from Freon. When contacting the same with air, the mechanism needs to fill with a special lubricant, otherwise it will be quickly fails.

But the idea is conceived, and the compressor looks impressive, so it will take to work:

• air receiver (for example, a cylon from kamaz with compressed air);
• oil separator;
• tube (copper);
• air filter (input);
• 2 reinforcements (control, regulating)
• pressure switch.

Reference! If there is no oil separator, then you can make yourself from the pipe (50 mm in diameter), paving inside metal grid (Sponge for washing dishes), further - to equip the end of the tube with fittings, close pancakes (metal). Set the passage fitting on the pipe wall, slightly retreating from any of the ends.

Stages of work:

• make a chassis from a metal corner, in addition (if desired) - 2 wheels in order to move the model in the subsequent;
• mount the air receiver on the chassis;
• secure the platform at the top of the cylinder, the bracket under the installation of the differential pressure relay;
• extend the oil separator from the side of the receiver;
• install the air filter on the inlet nozzle of the motor (if not available, it is made quickly from the plastic container), to attach to the inlet pipe using threaded corners;
• connect the outlet of the oil separator inlet, and the receiver with a corner;
• install a ball shut-off crane with a tee at the receiver output and the safety valve in order to provide the message of copper tubes through the taps of the tee with the pressure gauge and the differential relay.

Food of the homemade installation will occur through a start relay, so it is optional to change the electrical circuit. To upgrade, you can add a switch by mounting on the installation housing.

Air compressor to assemble easy. With such an assembly scheme, it will be connected to the network using a two-wire cord with a fork, it turns off immediately as soon as the air pressure reaches the mounted boundaries.

Refrigerator compressor finalization

The compressor installation can be simply modified to make it easier, for example, draining and change the oil in the tank. In fact, the working compressor itself, together with compressed air, drive oil in small quantities. For the manufacture of drain enough:

• drill the hole at the bottom of the housing (2-3 mm in diameter);
• cut the thread by the toll, after completing the oil unit;
• attach the magnet to the label to hold the chips on themselves (particles in the tank are usually always present);
• screw the tap back, cleaning from impurities at the edges;
• rinse inside butter oil;
• docile 2 filters with each other;
• put inside the magnet;
• pour oil from one container to another;
• screw the lid, then unscrew to fill the oil again;
• drain the oil, close the capacitance to the dipstick, putting the magnet.

Important condition! Metal particles when flowing should enter the magnet, and not back into the container. You need to merge the oil there, until it starts to depart crystal clear. Last but renounce the bolt and copper washer, fill the motor with filtered oil to the required volume. Connect the magnet already on the twisted plug at the bottom of the compressor so that the metallic chip particles remain inside.

The unit from the refrigerator after alteration is obtained silent, low-cost, not occupying a lot of space. If you follow easy circuits, you can make it possible to make it a completely working budget compressor for pumping tires, airbrushing, painting components.

Video: I'm shocked. What is the compressor from the refrigerator

Almost all motorists who every day are mastered in their garage every day, perfectly understand that having in your hands tools and constituents can always create something necessary.

In the same way, you can create a whole compressor for painting a car from an ordinary compressor for the refrigerator.

That's just how to do this in the technical plan, and in what strand?

Therefore, because of the often emerging issues of beginner masters of self-taking in this article, you will learn how to make such a compressor on your own and from under handicraft materials.

What compressor choose (factory or homemade)

The main criterion that should be guided by choosing a station for painting is a uniform air distribution, without foreign particles.

If such impurities get caught, the coverage will be with small defects - graininess, shaggy, caverns. In this case, due to these parts, drums and stains may form, so it's best to entrust painting by the corporate air compressor, that's just there is one snag - such a device is too expensive that many car enthusiasts do not afford.

Save funds and at the same time create a functional model by creating functional equipment, which is described in many videos and articles.

We will only have to spend its precious time on the study of the material, and then the creation of equipment that must be at least qualitative.

The model represented by the plant or homemade - the role does not play, because its principle of its action is the same and it consists in creating excessive pressure. Here is just a method of injection of air completely different - it can be produced by manual or mechanical.

In the second case, this is a significantly high cost of funds, a manual method is economical, but labor-intensive, requiring continuous control.

Automatic pumping does not spend your strength, but the product requires periodic maintenance, which is only the process of replacing the oil for the compressor.

Only so can be achieved uniform feeding and air distribution. Having studied theory, you are aware of how it is easy to make a compressor station that will work efficiently, while this will not need a lot of time.

We collect the compressor installation from the girlfriend -

If you decide to create an equipment for painting your own car, then you should be as well as defined materials for this:

1. For the reverse function, automotive chamber will be required;
2. For the function of the supercharger, you will need a pump with a manometer;
3. Chamber nipple;
4. Remkomplekt and Shilo.

When all components are prepared can be proceeded to create a compressor station. To check as far as the camera is hermetic, it is necessary to carry it out.

If the problem still exists, then it can be solved in two ways - by baking or vulcanization of raw rubber. In the resulting reverse, it is necessary to do a hole for supplying compressed air so that it goes uniformly.

A special nipple is placed in the hole for this. Remkomplekt will serve to implement the additional fastener of the pin. To check the uniformity of the air supply, it is enough to unscrew the nipple. Native nipple allows you to get rid of excessive pressure.

The level of pressure is determined during the work when the paint is sprayed. If the enamel on the metal to fall uniformly, the installation is functioning. At the end of the procedure it is worth determining the pressure indicators for this, it is enough to spray paint on the body of your car.

If the enamel lay no tubercles, it means that the device functions efficiently. In addition, pressure indicators can be monitored using a special instrument - a pressure gauge. But, his indicator after pressing aurator should not be chaotic.

As you can see, special tools and knowledge to create a similar compressor will not need. In this case, the repair and painting of the car in this way more effective than the use of the canister.

Remember that neither dust nor water should get into the car chamber. Otherwise, you will have to reinstall the painting of the car.

If this installation is used correctly and using all knowledge, it will last long, and if you also automate the pumping air, then the process itself will pass quickly.

Alternative to a professional device (refrigerator compressor)

Homemade compressor devices serve much longer than the presented time even in comparison with the installations of domestic and foreign production.

It is quite natural, because creating it with your own hands, we do everything for yourself at the highest level. Therefore, the people even thought out how to create a compressor from the refrigerator, which will be at the level with the installations of popular firms.

That's just for its creation, you should stock such components as a pressure gauge, relays, rubber adapters, oil-separating, fuel filters, gearbox, motor, switch, hose, clamps, brass tubes, but also in trivia - nuts, paint, wheels from furniture.

Creation of the mechanism itself

Simplify the entire procedure can buy a compressor from the old refrigerator still Soviet times. This will not pull too much in the budget, while there is already a start-up relay compressor.

Foreign competitors are inferior to this model, because it is not able to work out such a high pressure. But the Soviet copes with such a task.

After eliminating the executive unit, it is desirable to clean the compressor from rust layers. To avoid in the future, the oxidation process is worth using the rust converter.

It turns out that the working casing of the motor is ready for the painting process.

Installation scheme

The preparatory process is completed, now you can replace the oil. Since the refrigerator is old and it is hardly permanent, it is worth updating this moment.

Since the system has always been far from external influence, then there was not justified by maintenance work. To carry out this procedure, it will not be necessary for expensive oil, enough and semi-synthetic.

In this case, it is not worse through the presented characteristics of any oil for the compressor and has many additives used with benefit.

Inspecting the compressor, you will find 3 tubes, one of them is already posted, but the rest are free. Open applied to input and output air. To understand how air will circulate, it is necessary to connect the power of the compressor.

Write down for yourself, which of the holes pulls the air, and which releases it. But the sealed tube should be revealed, it will serve as a hole to replace the oil.

The tip is necessary for the implementation of the tube, it is necessary to follow that the chips do not get inside the compressor. To determine how much oil is already there, we drain it into the container. With the subsequent replacement, you will know how much you have to pour it.

Then we take spitz and pour semi-synthetic, but this time count on that the volume should be twice as much as they already merged. When the container is filled with oil, it is worth drowning the engine lubrication system, it uses a screw that is pre-executed with the FUM tape and is placed simply in the tube.

Do not be afraid if periodically from the output air tube will appear drops of oil. It is not so difficult to resolve this situation, find the oil separator for homemade installation.

Preliminary works are finished, that's just now you can start directly assembling the installation. And they begin with the engine strengthening, it is best to choose a wooden base for this and in such a position so that it be on the frame.

It is worth noting that this item is very sensitive to the position, so you follow the instructions on the top cover, where the arrow is drawn. Accuracy is important in this matter, because the correctness of the installation depends on the correctness of the change of modes.

Where is the compressed air?

The cylinder can withstand high pressure is a container from the fire extinguisher. At the same time, they have high strength indicators and can be used as hinged equipment.

If you take on the basis of the OU-10 fire extinguisher, which accommodates 10 liters, then it is necessary to count on the pressure of B15 MPa. Unscrew the locking and starting device, instead of which you install an adapter. If you revealed traces of rust, then these places are mandatory to handle the rust converter.

Externally, it is not difficult to delete it, but it is more complicated to spend internal cleaning. But the easiest way inside the cylinder pour the converter itself and shake it well so that all the walls are impregnated with them.

When the cleaning is carried out, the water-conductive cross is screwed and we can assume that we have already prepared two working details of the self-made compressor design.

Conducting details

Previously, it was already negotiated that a wooden board is suitable for fixing the engine and the fire extinguisher body, it is even easier to store workers.

In terms of engine mounting, threaded studs and washers will serve, only think in advance to make holes. To fix the receiver in vertically, the plywood will need.

It makes a notch under the balloon, the second and the third is fixed to the main board using self-uses and holds the receiver. To give the design of maneuverability, you should fasten the wheels from the furniture to the base.

In order for dust to be in the system, it is necessary to consider its protection - the use of filter for gasoline can be considered an excellent option. rough Cleaning Fuel. With it, the function of the air intake will be easily executed.

Because on the holes with the input of the compressor equipment, the pressure indicators are low, it does not have to strengthen it.

Having created an input filter to carry out installation work with a compressor, do not forget to at the end to install the oil separator to avoid in the future of droplets of water. As the pressure indicators at the exit high, you will need automobile clamps.

The oil separator filter is joined by the gearbox input and the output of the pressure supercharger. To control the balloon pressure, the pressure gauge itself should be screwed on the right side, where the output is located on the opposite side.

To control pressure and power to 220V, set the relay to adjust. As an actuator, many masters recommend using RM5 (RDM5).

This device responds to work if the pressure drops, the compressor is turned on, if it rises, the device is completely discovered.

To establish proper pressure used springs on the relay. A large spring is responsible for the minimum indicator, but the small for the maximum, thereby establishing the framework of the work and disconnect the self-made compressor installation.

On the fact of PM5 is the usual two-contact switches. One contact will be needed to connect to zero network 220 V, and the second to combine with the supercharger.

The tuber is needed to spend off from it from the network and get rid of yourself from constant running in the direction of the socket. All connected wires for safety should be inlated. When these works are carried out, you can proceed the installation and check it.

Adjusting pressure

When the design is assembled, it is quite natural to check it. Connect the latest components - the spray or pneumatic equipment and connect the installation to the network.

We check the work of the relay how to cope with the engine shutdown, and follow the pressure using the pressure gauge. If everything works properly, go to check tightness.

To do this, it is easiest to use a soap solution. When tightness is tested, we water the air from the chamber. The compressor starts when the pressure drops below the minimum limit. Only after checking all systems and ghost them in the working state, you can proceed to the Painting Parts procedure.

For painting, you only need to determine the pressure and do not load yourself by pre-processing of the metal. To paint the uniform layer, it is necessary to experiment in this way and determine the atmospheric indicators.

It is important to use the supercharger as little as possible. Each motorist will understand the components of the parts and start making the automotive compressor.

Can choose different variants Production, but the use of the navigator start, automatic pressure control is a more complex design, but its use is one and solid pleasure.

It does not have to give time to control the receiver, which will reveal more opportunities, and you can do a painting machine, fence or even a gate.

Regulatory work is a mandatory procedure in order to extend the work of its self-made compressor.

To replace the oil - a conventional syringe can be used to merge or pour it. Replacing the filters is carried out only if necessary when the speed of filling the tank chamber is reduced.

Binding components of the compressor

When it is decided which compressor to choose and reverse, it is worthwhile to make a question of their association. At the same time, it is worth determining how the air will go to the airbrush. For the distribution of air corresponds to the node that mounted to the receiver.

The main thing is that these components are compatible with each other. For the disconnection and switching on the compressor corresponds to the pressure relay. RDM-5 although it is used for water supply systems, but this perfect option For our case - for the relay.

The bottom line is that the element for the connection is suitable for an external inch thread. To find out what kind of pressure in the receiver, you must use a pressure gauge and pre-think the size that is suitable for the connection. In the air preparation unit, we supply pressure and adjust it within 10 atmospheres, at this stage you must attach the filter of the oil separator.

The pressure gauge allows you to check the pressure, and the filter allows you to prevent particles of oil from the receiver. Turns, tees and even fittings are the following components that will have to be prepared for installation. To understand exactly the number, you need to think through the scheme, select inch as size.

After resolving the issue with adapters, it is important to consider the moment of installation of the structure, most often for this use chipboard plates. The design of your station should be maneuverable, because it will have to move it through the workshop to simplify the work, it is worth a feet of her legs.

It is not necessary to reinvent here for a long time, just visit the furniture, where there are quite a lot of such wheels from furniture. In order to save a place in your workshop, you can build a two-storey construction. But here it is better to stock up with large bolts for fixing the design. To simplify the preparation for this stage, make a list of mandatory components.

Assembly of the semi-professional air blower

The assembly begins with removing the spin of the fire extinguisher and installing the transition device. After removing the valve of the fire extinguisher, set the adapter there.

On the durable hose is carried out immediately four components - gearbox, pressure switch and adapter.

The next step will be fixing the wheels to the installation on the sheet of chipboard. Since the design is scheduled at two levels, it is necessary to make holes for the heels, where the fire extinguisher will be placed.

The hydroaccumulator is easier to collect, because there are brackets from two sides. The lower part is fixed to the base, and the upper one is fixed to install.

To reduce vibration when installing the compressor, silicone gaskets are used. The hose is connected to the output and input of air preparation.

The next step will be to carry out work on the connection. Jumper, protective elements - all this must be thought out.

Through the relay and switch, the entire connection chain is carried out, calculating that all connection passes according to the scheme: the phase wire enters the switch, the relay terminal is followed by connection. To ground the relay, a special wire is started.

What is better: buy or make a compressor yourself?

Compressor equipment on the market is represented by a large assortment. Piston components, vibration units, screw stations - all this components that are used in other areas.

If you wish, you can not spend your time on creating an installation, it is represented at any point of sale by auto parts or on specialized sites.

Such an extensive range significantly complicates the choice of the required product. But if you decide to purchase a station, this issue should be guided by technical indicators, worth and reviews of those who have already had time to evaluate.

If you chase for warranty periods, it is worth paying attention to the models of popular brands. Expensive products should be acquired if you are on the professional level by repair work.

You can bring up you products that do not have a name and status, so it's better to spend time once and no longer risk in this matter. Many manufacturers budget options Save on components components.

In the end, you will encounter frequent breakdowns and replacement parts, the warranty repair will take a long time. Therefore, many motorists perfectly understand that the installation collected in their own hands is sometimes more reliable than the factory.

Win such products with technical indicators. For example, the components of the homemade machine for painting the machine serves a lot longer - compressors from refrigerators can work tens of years, the fire extinguisher also has a colossal margin of safety.

You can always improve the indicators of your compressor yourself, everything is in your hands, but you don't experiment so much with the factory device.

The neighbors on the garage will surely acquire when they see a good made and thought-out device.

The compressor can be used in a wide variety of areas - to swing tires, airbrushes, painting parts etc. Possessing the necessary tools and certain technical knowledge, it is quite possible to manufacture this unit based on the usual refrigerator. The homemade compressor gives about 7 atmospheres, which is quite enough for the ordinary garage workshop, so many are increasingly thinking about how such a compressor can be made? Refrigerator compressor do it yourself it turns out quite quiet and, most importantly, cheap at its cost.
