Belt drives are commonly used to connect a motor to a refrigeration compressor because they allow for flexibility in alignment and the ability to absorb vibrations, which can reduce wear on the components. Additionally, belts can provide a speed reduction, enabling the compressor to operate at optimal RPMs for efficiency. Couplings, while effective in direct drives, can be less forgiving in terms of alignment and may not accommodate the thermal expansion or movement of the system as well as belts do.
I would use a totally enclosed motor.
The two types of refrigeration systems are vapor compression systems and absorption systems. Vapor compression systems use a compressor to circulate refrigerant, while absorption systems use heat to drive the cooling process.
It is a fluid coupling using a viscous (thicker type) fluid, similar to the coupling between the drive and driven impeller of an automatic transmission in a car.
A hardy spicer is a universal coupling as found on vehicle drive shafts and they are fitted with needle bearings
The shaft seal in the open drive type compressor is particularly susceptible to leaks in low-pressure refrigeration systems. This seal is exposed to the atmosphere and can deteriorate over time, leading to refrigerant leaks. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the seal can help prevent leaks in the system.

If this is the a/c compressor, yes you can. You will just not have air.
If you mean an AC - air conditioner compressor, definitely yes. Assuming that the drive belt is not an issue and the cars computer will allow it to senses the disconnection. You could if it was an air conditioner compressor but it would be hot!
Remove the drive belt from the air conditioner compressor. Remove the air conditioning hoses from the compressor. Remove the retaining bolts from the air conditioner compressor.
The purpose of the motor in a refrigerator is to drive the compressor, which plays a crucial role in the refrigeration cycle. The compressor circulates refrigerant through the system, compressing it to increase its pressure and temperature before it moves through the condenser and evaporator coils. This process removes heat from the interior of the fridge, keeping food and beverages cold. In essence, the motor enables the efficient operation of the fridge by maintaining the desired low temperature.
