Air Compressors
A machine for generating compressed air, typically for use by air-powered tools or paint sprayers. The compressor takes in air at atmospheric pressure, and increases it to any pressure between 1 psi above atmospheric, and 10,000 psi above atmospheric. Air compressor motors can range from fractions of a horsepower, to multiple thousands of horsepower.

How do you remove air conditioning compressor from Ford Taurus?
Yoy need to remove the whole front end including radiator
Would putting a 1997 air compressor in a 1996 lumina mess up the car?
Look over the units to make sure they have the same appearance, bolt loctions dimensions; if they do, go ahead and switch them.
Where is the service switch for a 1998 Lincoln Navigator's air suspension located?
On a 1998 Lincoln Navigator I believe it is in the front passenger footwell
( it might be behind an access panel )
Where is the rear shocks air compressor located on a 1998 Cadillac Seville sts?
On a 1998 Cadillac Seville STS, the rear shocks air compressor is located in the trunk, specifically on the driver's side, near the spare tire well. It is part of the vehicle's self-leveling suspension system, which uses air to adjust the ride height. Accessing it may require removing some trunk trim or carpeting for better visibility and reach.
Where is rear air suspension compressor located on 1995 Lincoln town car?
The rear air suspension compressor on a 1995 Lincoln Town Car is typically located in the trunk, on the driver's side, near the rear wheel well. It may be mounted on a bracket or directly to the body of the vehicle. To access it, you may need to remove the trunk liner or cover. Always ensure the vehicle is safely supported and disconnected from the battery before attempting any repairs.
How do you install air condtioning compressor on 1987 Chevy Celebrity?
To install an air conditioning compressor on a 1987 Chevy Celebrity, first, disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the old compressor by detaching the refrigerant lines and mounting bolts. Install the new compressor by securing it to the mounting bracket and reconnecting the refrigerant lines, ensuring all O-rings are replaced and properly lubricated. After that, refill the system with the appropriate refrigerant, and check for leaks before reconnecting the battery and testing the system. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
Where is the fuse of air conditioning compressor in sl 500?
In the Mercedes-Benz SL 500, the fuse for the air conditioning compressor is typically located in the fuse box, which is generally found under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment. The specific fuse number can vary by model year, so it's best to consult the owner's manual for the exact location and amperage. If you need to check or replace the fuse, ensure the vehicle is turned off and take appropriate safety precautions.
Where are the ac fuses on a Chevrolet s10 truck?
On a Chevrolet S10 truck, the AC fuses are typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. There is also a fuse box in the engine compartment, which may contain fuses related to the AC system. To locate the specific AC fuses, refer to the fuse box diagram usually found on the inside of the fuse box cover or in the vehicle's owner's manual.
What is the cause of pulling high amps on one leg of the compressor?
Hi:
To be honest about your question, i'd have to say that you've left me hangin a bit in a void with lack of details.
Not to knock your question, as that I think it needs a response cuz many could benefit from the answer ( assuming you are asking what I think with the conditions I'm assuming you have ). Namely 230 volt 60 cycle single phase supply for power.
If the above is true then you'll see you have a common post terminal, a starter winding post terminal , and a running winding post terminal to connect approriate wires to on your compressor.
The Common terminal wire is usually dark in color such as black and of good size and the run winding terminal is usually red and also of good size. Lastly, the start winding is usually color coded yellow and of smaller size than other two. Basically the names of these terminals are self explanitory. start winding is primarily designed to help compressor initiate start up and run windings is the one that keeps her humming along happily once at speed. The common terminal as the name implies is the common link between the start and run windings and its amperage reading is a combo of those two windings in tandem. therefore it would read higher than other two on a normal bases.
Very little current goes through the start winding therefore no need for bigger wire. It basically is for just inhancement of starting up the motor and is not designed to carry the full time load.
I will not get into the technicals any deeper as that you probably wouldn't want that much detail anyway. So,, ( IF ) your system is typical single phase system then there is your answer. One terminal is the common of the other two and reads both. ( Common,,, or often just marked C ) by mfg. for identification. So it is normal to have one lead read higher than the others.
( 3 Phase ? ),,,,,,,,,
OMG!!!!!!! , now here is a all together different pill to swallow.
If!!!!!! you are operating on 3 phase power at your compressor then all leads should be pretty much the same reading on your amperage meter. If you have a large disparity here then you most certainly have a problem that needs tending to. The phase angle of all three legs must be proper along with their current angles for these motors to work properly and with all 3 legs working in harmony and not against one another.
You could have a phase angle problem for many reasons. I'll not go to deep here other than to say ( make sure all your wires , connections and connectors (inclueding pull in contactor points) are in good and clean condition with snug fit. If all is well here then my advice to you is get a really good and seasoned electrician to help out.
Hope this helps:

How do you measure compressor lock rotor amps?
Compressor locked rotor amps are measured with an amp-probe or clip on ampmeter. Lock rotor amps are amps with the rotor not turning/moving, and the winding at ambient temperature. locked rotor amps are X4.5 to X5 times the FLA of motor name plate.
What causes air compressor to stop pumping on Detroit 60 series?
It could be a number of things like air tanks full of water, air lines frozen if you are in a cold climate, bad regulator, big enough air leaks to keep it from building pressure, clogged dryer/dryer filter needs to be changed,or it may need an unload-er rebuild depending on the type of compressor. A lot of times the compressor itself isn't bad but is one of the problems I mentioned. If you have taken the main line off the compressor and know for a fact it isn't pumping then it may need a rebuild. A lot of times when they go bad the compressor will pass oil through the air lines from oil getting by the compressor piston. If theres oil in the main line then positively you need a new one/rebuild. As for an exact, blunt answer, it stops pumping from worn out parts. Theres nothing specific that just makes them quit pumping. Hope this helps,I tried to be thorough.
Which company led the air and gas compressors industry?
Ingersoll-Rand Company has long been one of the top U.S. air-compressor manufacturers. By some estimates it was the largest U.S. producer and the world's second-largest.
