I have been thinking the same thing. I have almost pristine cold storage rooms compressor waiting for this project, but havent been able to solve oil issue reliably. You could get automatic oiler to feed new oil to system and have oil extractor least before hose, but i dont know how much it really removes and would require emptying regular intervals. I also though about making cyclone filter that collects moisture and oil, where there is two valves opening and closing controlled by arduino that gets data from visual sensors that see when water and oil levels are top emptying it automatically just enough to get water out from bottom (oil usually floats) and feeding oil back to system, but this is complicated and probably will cause issues over time. Regardless what ever i get oil out, i would not use this to paint cars and playing with oil kinda defeats idea of this being used in apartment building i planned using it, before moving.

One important thing that often gets forgotten, these compressors are typically filled with poe oil, which will react with moisture in the air and corrode the internals of the pump. Replace with engine oil, gear oil, or mineral oil then periodically top up, keep a cheap oil separator inline between the pump and tank and it'll work just fine to recycle the used oil, or just top up periodically and toss the used stuff.

Very professional...

Estupendo trabajo compañero. Pero veo algunas medidas de precaución que usted no ha instalado en su proyecto. Y son muy importantes. En primer lugar, no veo que haya instalado una válvula de seguridad. Eso es muy importante, por que si en un momento dado el presostato se avería podría a llegar a reventar el calderín o alguna de sus piezas asociadas. Tampoco veo que le haya instalado un filtro de aire en la entrada del compresor. Otra cuestión no menos importante, es que estos compresores de nevera, están diseñados para trabajar en circuito cerrado. Con lo cual, usted va a tener una pérdida de aceite muy importante cada vez que utilice su proyecto. Le recomiendo que a la salida del compresor, instale un separador de aceite. Otra cosa importante, debería haber instalado una llave de purga o evacuación de la condensación que se produce dentro del calderín. De lo contrario, llegará el momento que corrompa el interior del calderín por el óxido. Supongo que habrá instalado la válvula anti-retorno, otro detalle muy importante. No tome mis palabras como una crítica negativa, todo lo contrario, me ha encantado su proyecto. Solo sugiero algunas mejoras muy importantes en lo que a seguridad se refiere. Un gran abrazo..... Great work partner. But I see some precautionary measures that you have not installed in your project. And they are very important. First of all, I do not see that you have installed a safety valve. This is very important, because if at any given time the pressure switch breaks down, it could burst the boiler or some of its associated parts. Nor do I see that you have installed an air filter at the compressor inlet. Another issue, no less important, is that these refrigerator compressors are designed to work in a closed circuit. With which, you will have a very important oil loss every time you use your project. I recommend that at the outlet of the compressor, install an oil separator. Another important thing, should have installed a purge key or evacuation of condensation that occurs inside the boiler. Otherwise, the moment will come that corrupts the inside of the reboiler by rust. I suppose you have installed the anti-return valve, another very important detail. Do not take my words as a negative criticism, on the contrary, I loved your project. I only suggest some very important improvements as far as security is concerned. A big hug.....

thanks for the advice, actually built one with two reciprocating motors and works well (also super silent and cost -100 if you do it diy)

These were commercially made about 30 years ago by Devilbis. They were called silent airbrush compressors. They cut the compressor around the circumference at the seem. Dumped the oil and replaced it with an air compressor oil. Probably Mineral spirit oil. A special clamp similar to a huge hose clamp that fit around the tank to hold the top and bottom and a rubber seal together. I had one. It was absolutely silent. You only heard a psst when it turned on and off. perfect for an apartment setting. I am not sure if they still make them. I no longer do airbrushing. The unit cost around $350.00 back then. You could buy the oil in art supply stores by the liter. One of the copper tubings was for refilling the oil. You only use 30 to 40 psi for airbrush. It also had a tank about the size of a medium sized hand job fire extinguisher. It is obvious this one is pushing 140psi ouch!!

Please add a safety valve, this compressor reach about 300 PSI.

Genial !! , Bravo !!. Saludos desde Madrid Spain.

If you do this again I would like to recommend some changes. 1 - Drill and tap the base before welding the tank on (2:22) 2 - Put the handle of the cylinder for the container in the center of the rig to help you carry it. Don't cut it off (1:46) 3 - Don't drill through the wall of the tank, this compromises the strength of the tank. Instead put a T pipe to act as the inlet/outlet (3:27) 4 - Don't weld the pipe into place as this prevents the machine from being taken apart (7:27, 9:36). A flexible hose and clamps work just as well. 5 - Make sure there is a way to lubricate the motor once in a while. This refrigerator pump was meant to pump refrigerant, not dusty air. 6 - Make sure the compressor can turn itself off. I don't know what the limit on your tank is, but on mine it is 100psi. 7 - You will need to find a way to take the compressor apart to drain the condensation. But what do I know? I've just got a diploma as a welding and fabrication technician, two years as an industrial powder painter and three years with an air brake endorsement.

Its a compressor from a refrigerator, when operating properly they're extremely quiet because they're a rotary type compressor rather than a piston type as most air compressors are, which by design are loud. A rotary or a screw compressor will be very quiet due to the way they compress the air through the intake and outlet system.

I hope I can do as well and be like you, I wish you and everyone a good time and happiness

Yes, the fridge compressor is great regarding low noise but you will run into a major problem with water accumulating in the compressor and mixing with the oil in it and eventually producing a milky sludge and thus diminishing the lubrication quality of that mixture and sooner or later (probably sooner) burning out this nice and quiet compressor. Water in the adjacent pressure tank is not much of a problem as we can get rid of it in various ways, however, I don't know of any way to get rid of the humidity in the air that first get sucked into the compressor and it is that humidity turning into water once air compression commences.

It locked up because over time the lubrication in the motor/compressor will escape up the pipework, never to return! A closed unit of this type loses lubrication up the pipework, but usually it returns to the unit. This is not possible when using the unit in this way.

You do nice work, IMHO. Some critical comments: A tank condensate drain cock could be helpful. Given your skills, installation of that should be a cakewalk. Some have already mentioned the Comp. oil WILL find its way into the tank AND your end effector (sprayer). While this is true of ANY oiled compressor, those Refer. Comps. do by design circulate oil thorough the closed-circuit loop in Refer. service. The result, in this application, being quick depletion of oil, and more of it finding its way into your sprayer. Been there. ;-) Just my thoughts!

I can see that being a case easily solved through having an oil injection/feed either in-line with air filtration/moisture removal line, or having it post-fed after previous filtration.
