megatec_megatec, here it is normal to use the empty car to repair refrigerators. I don't know if this method is very efficient. I am using a 1hp tank compressor but between both cases I see no difference. The pressure gauge drops to 25 in maximum GH, in both cases. I don't know the vacuum gauge, but doesn't the pressure gauge do the same job for me? Now, they tell me that whenever I do a good vacuum and the dehydrator filter is in good condition, there will be no future moisture problem, right?
Thanks for the reply
The problem of using a compressor to make a vacuum is that you never reach a vacuum layer to evaporate the humidity, so there are vacuum pumps, before here it was also empty with another compressor because we had no chance of buying a vacuum pump, The vacuum gauge is a manometer that has the largest scale below relative zero (atmospheric pressure). A common gauge has a very small scale for vacuum measurement.

It is not the same to immerse a winding in alcohol for 6 months than to apply 1 cm³ of alcohol to a refrigeration system where that cm³ will be mixed with the refrigerant and oil. I have used it with good results, and the compressor has fulfilled its average useful life, it lasted almost 10 years, and I have the very precise data because it was my refrigerator.
Hello elektomaq if it is true what you say is not the same my test as your experience. Mine is like a case taken to the extreme greetings
Hello colleague Cristian, it is the same as the one you are commenting on. They accuse him of evil and harmful but as he has solved problems for us the poor. I've been able to buy my first vacuum pump for more than 26 years, still. I pray that this divine liquor is not lacking in my workshop.
