One problem with using an air conditioner compressor for a vacuum pumpis that it would run hot, since air conditioner compressors are cooledby the cold refrigerant that is pulled into the crankcase & compressorpump. It's also oiled by an ambient oil mist in the refrigerant vapor,so I don't think it would last long, even if it was hooked up to avacuum switch that would shut it off when it was not needed to run.

Case in point: A couple of weeks ago I had to replace a compressor fora new Ductless-Split air conditioner (those little rectangular JapaneseA/C's like Samsung, Mitsubishi, etc.) Someone had cut the refrigerantlines in order to steal maybe $1 of copper, and the compressor continuedto run without being cooled & oiled. In short order the compressorburnt out and fouled with very smelly acid. IMO that's what wouldhappen with your window-unit vacuum pump.

A vacuum pump system isn't very expensive--I'd go with the right stuff.I see used ones on eBay all the time. Every once in awhile Ed Berris ofskykingrcproducts.com sells some good systems, so you might check withEd through his website to see if he has any on hand he'd like to sell.From what I've seen, he knows his vacuum systems well & gives anaccurate assessment of the condition of his goods. (He's also a good guy.)

I have a 230-volt compressor motor that came from an old =

unit.  I understand that such a motor might be useful for making a
vacuum-bagging system, but I have no idea how to do it.

Is such a motor what I need for a vacuum-bag system?
