what do you want to pump?

i think if we cannot use pump as a compressor or vica versa though technically there principle is same but the design is totally different and if we use them then efficiency will decrease significantly but they can be used if any want

Will a heat pump compressor burn out if the circulation fan does not work?

If the fan outside is not running the compressor will overheat and if the fan inside the house is not running the compressor will get liquid refrigerant back to it and lock up! Neither is good for the compressor.


What is the difference between centrifugal compressor and screw compressors?

A rotary compressor is like a car engine, with pistons, rods, sleeves, valves, etc. A screw compressor has two screw type rotating parts that squeeze the refrigerant as the screw threads get tighter and tighter. They have long life potential.


Can we run our heat pump to heat the house even though the compressor is not working?

No. The compressor is needed to run in reverse in order to pull warm air from the outside to heat the home.


Where is the only true discharge line on a heat pump?

The only true discharge line on a heat pump is located on the compressor. This line carries the high-pressure refrigerant gas that has been compressed by the compressor and is then directed towards the condenser. It's important to distinguish this from the suction line, which carries the low-pressure refrigerant back to the compressor. Proper identification of these lines is crucial for maintenance and troubleshooting.


Where must a suction-line drier be placed in a heat pump?

In a heat pump system, the suction-line drier should be placed on the suction line, typically between the evaporator and the compressor. This location allows the drier to effectively remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant before it enters the compressor, protecting the compressor and ensuring efficient operation. Proper placement is crucial for maintaining system performance and longevity.

What is the difference in a pump and compressor?

they have different names A Pump is a mechanical device which transfers Liquid from a lower point to a higher point.Eg: Centrifugal pump,Rotary pump,Reciprocating pump. A Compressor is a high pressure mechanical device which basically compressors air/gas Well, a compressor compresses a gas and a pump moves a liquid. Compressors are often used in refrigeration applications where gas is transformed into a liquid and vice-versa, so the main task for the compressor is not to move the gas but to compress it.


Where is the air compressor located on a 1997 Ford Taurus?

It does not have an Air Compressor. If you are talking about the A/C Compressor, then just look at the drive belts. One of these belts is driving the compressor. If it has one serpentine belt, it is driving the A/C compressor, PS pump, Alternator, & Water Pump. Just follow the belt to find it.

A pump or compressor.


Why is my 1996 Lexus SC 400 ac compressor suddenly making a whining noise?

Are you sure it is the A/C Compressor and not the power steering pump? LS400, SC 300 and SC 400 are known to have power steering pump issues that leak onto the compressor causing ac compressor failure. Replace the pump as soon as you see a leak.


What is difference betweenrotar of centrifugal pump and compressor?

pump is used to handle liquid and compressor is used to handle gases. other difference include blade shape etc..


What is different between pump and compressor?

pump is used to move liquid from one point to another, while compressor is used to compress and move gases from point to point.


Where is ISX oil pump?

Depends. You didn't give a model number (e.g., CM850, etc.). Pre-SCR trucks typically had one mounted to the back of the compressor, and the compressor shaft turned the pump. SCR models have a standalone high pressure pump below the air compressor.


Why pump can't use for compressed air?

Pump cant use compressed air because its a heat exchange process where mostly burnt fuel is converted as a source of energy . Compressed air is best in compressor engines .


Why is the heat pump compressor not turning on?

The heat pump compressor may not be turning on due to issues such as a faulty thermostat, electrical problems, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
