Post by Crips »

Hi All

So I need to buy a new one, the old one is toast.

But with 3 kids and a LandRover and buying a house at the moment I never have money....
so what would a good value for money option be and what size?

You picked the worst possible time to ask a 'best value buy' Thread...

BOTH Ge'Off & Paul25 are on holiday.
They have never paid full price for anything.

Sjoe Reenen, dit klink na werk, slim plan, maar baie werk.
Daar is aircon in alreeds, het hom sopas laat regmaak met nuwe bedrading en relays.
Ek hou van die idea om die aircompressor te mount in die engine bay...

 Crips, het jou land rover aircon in?

( Hierdie is n goedkoop alternatief vir die duur 12v pompe wat nie lank hou)

Indien nie, sal die heel maklikste wees om n aircon pomp erens tweedehands te koop, op sy plek in te mount, met toggle switch op dash, en pressure switch inline.

Groot probleem met aircon compressor as lug compressor, is die feit dat n aircon compressor olie as smering in die geslote aircon sisteem het. As lug kompressor, gebruik jy egter die lug.

Om die probleem te oorkom, verbind jou aircon pomp intake (suig kant), aan jou engine crank breather. Daar is altyd n bietjie olie in jou positive crank vapor, wat genoeg vir smering behoort te wees. En dan n klein oil seperator op outlet.

En dan n gewone quick coupler waar jy jou pyp indruk.

Nou kan jy besluit hoe nice jy jou sisteem wil maak. Tot op hierdie punt, is jy waar jy met gewone 12v compressor is.

(Die res kan jy met n aircon of elektriese compressor doen)
Nou kan jy bv erens onder jou kar n silinder verbind wat as stoor tenk dien. N cadac gasbottel of ou brandblusser werk goed. En een of meer quick couplers. En dalk n drukmeter op dash.

Met n standaard 10ci aircon pomp, behoort mens seker so 160 liter per minuut te kry op idle.
Dankie vir die detail.

Ek beoog al lank om 'n aircon pomp op die plaas se Tata te sit. Daai ding se bande word meer gepomp as die plaas se wilde kat.

I bought a 132l/min pump from Game for R900 (now just over 1k). Not the best quality, but it has lasted for 3 years now and still going strong.

I'm on holiday in KZN not another planet Manny.
The best value for money on the 160 l/m compressors was Adendorff at about R1400.00. Other than the colour, they are identical to the ones sold at the 4x4 places for well over R2000.00
