Auto A/C Compressor Power Requirement?
Auto A/C Compressor Power Requirement?
(OP)
First of all - hello to everyone! I am not an engineer, rather a professional autobody painter that has a great interest in custom a/c systems and stumbled upon this thread -thread108-138387: A/C Compressor efficiency...?
I had a question I was hoping someone hear could answer. Suppose I took the whole a/c system out of a 2003 for crown victoria and wanted to drive the compressor with a briggs and stratton type small engine - how large of an engine would it realistically take to turn the scroll type compressor from the crown vic with a full load on it?
Hopefully someone here has a thought on this.
Thanks,
Mike

If the compressor where to be ran at a constant speed, what would that rpm be?
Thanks for the fast reply!
