What is the choice of compressors suitable for use at home, today may offer industry? Likewise, the range is small, and besides, the proposed samples have a weighing of flaws, ranging from dimensions and weight and ending with noise levels.

Ready homemade compressor

It turns out that the homemade compressor will be the best solution to the problem with the home workshop equipment.

Engine selection

In my opinion, the best choice for the engine of the home compressor can be called an aggregate from the household refrigerator of the Soviet era. Personally, I did myself two homemade compressors with such aggregates, one block was vertical (I do not know the brand), and the second from the refrigerator Yuryuzan (horizontally located).

One compressor was designed to power the airbrush, and the other worked with a bobbing gun. There were no problems with any other aggregates. Many may argue that they have a small performance, in my opinion, no longer need for home. But when working, such a device is practically not heard.

Equipment for compressor

In addition to the engine and directly the pump unit for normal operation, other components are needed to the compressor. To make a compressor with your own hands we will need:

  • Base for the whole design;
  • Air receiver;
  • Filters and moisture separator;
  • Connecting hoses or tubes;
  • Gearbox and pressure gauge;
  • Engine launcher;

Design homemade compressor

The basis, it is the same frame, can have any design and be made from any girlfriend.

For example, you can use a thick plywood leaf or chipboard sheet as the basis, and place all compressor nodes so that free access to all parts is provided.

In principle, the design of the base and its materials are limited only to the fantasy of the developer, I, for example, one of the compressors was generally without a frame (I will describe how to do).

As a receiver most often, the inventive people use old receivers from the KAMAZ brake system, very comfortable thing, There are all the necessary threads for fittings and a valve for condensate drain. Alternatively, you can apply an old foam or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher (better than somewhat sequentially included).

With this receiver, you will have to work a little - to boil tubes and bushings to attach the rest of the system.
Air filters and moisture separator are best used industrial production, for the price of course expensive (a good set is now from 3000), but the quality is worth this money.

Make an air compressor with your own hands without connecting hoses or tubes will not work. By personal experience I can say that the oxygen hoses (from welding) show very good results, the lack of one is a decent mass, and, therefore, the airbrush is inconvenient to work, it is better to use a standard spiral hose for it.

With the pads, everything is clear, the regular start-up engine switch is used, only the switch is added. It is more convenient to use a foot key, then when working your hands stay free.

Work on the compressor

I'll tell you how to make a compressor on my example. It began with the fact that I tried to use a small compressor to infamous wheels from those that are on sale. He remained dissatisfied with his indicators and took up work.

I took the mother-in-law old refrigerator, Entry from it the unit with wiring, the rest threw out. The engine cleared the skin and re-painted paint from the can, then went to the construction market. There picked up a piece of oxygen hose, acquired a suitable clambeing and switch.

After that, went to the buddies to the part and became the owner of the new Kamaov receiver. Brought all this good home and began to create a non-hard design.

In order not to make a frame, I decided to use the receiver as the basis of the entire compressor. To do this, first cut out from Watman and slept at the place of attachment to the engine and support for the receiver. After everything was ready, cut out of steel 1.5 millimeter, the details bent them and welded to the receiver. Thus, it turned out an analogue of the factory compressor.

Further, everything is simple - on the pillows I installed a pumping unit and connected the entire electrician. Then it took up pneumatics, at the inlet pipe of the compressor through the hose segment attached a fuel filter from the Zhiguli (later replaced it with a wire frame, covered with thin foam).

The adapter for the feed hose was screwed into the threaded bushing of the receiver and joined it with an outlet tube of the pump, an indoor separator unit with a gearbox and a pressure gauge, to which a gas crane with a connector was screwed to connect the airbust hose. I tried - everything works wonderfully, there are no complaints.

A small advice to those who will gather to make a compressor from the refrigerator with their own hands - turn on between the compressor and the receiver check valve, the load on the engine will significantly decrease.

In the inventory of the car owner garage will be akin to the air compressor. With the help of it, you can paint cars, pump tires, submit air to pneumatic tools. Consider how to make a compressor for painting with your own hands from affordable materials.

Compressed air - the faithful assistant of the present master

The air compressor in the garage there is always an application: from the banal blown of dust from the surfaces processed by the abrasive before creating an overpressure in pneumatic tools. A consistent part of the compressor's work resource is accounted for on the work on the painting of the car. And it imposes certain requirements for the flow of air.

It should flow strictly uniformly and have no impurities in the form of droplets of water, oil or solid suspended particles. Such defects like graininess, shagren and cavities on a freshlylanded paintwork are just because of the fall into the stream of foreign particles. Paints and matte spots on enamels occur with uneven flow of mixture.

Branded air compressors from the manufacturer have all the functions for the ideal work of the airbrush, but there are considerable money. Save and create a functional model, not inferior to professional, you can own by our own, having studied theoretical information and viewing the video of the "compressor with your own" as a manual. The principle of operation of all models of both homemade and professional enough simple and is as follows. In the device for storing compressed air, called "receiver", an overpressure is created. You can pump the air both manually and mechanized methods.

With manual feed save financial resourcesBut it is spent a lot of strength and energy to control the process. With automatic injection, all these shortcomings are eliminated, the only thing remains - the regulatory replacement of oil in air pump. Next, the compressed air through the output unit is fed by uniform flow to actuators. As you can see, nothing is complicated, and you can create a working model in a few minutes.

Making the simplest compressor with your own hands

One option will make a compressor for painting from the car chamber served. For manufacture, you will need:

  • Receiver - car chamber. It is possible with a tire, without it
  • Supercharger - Automotive Pump with Manometer
  • Nipple from the unsuitable camera
  • Remkomplekt for rubber
  • Tailoring awl

Colmia necessary materials, go directly to the manufacture of the device. We take an unnecessary car chamber and check it on tightness by pumping the pump. If the balloon keeps the air, it means everything is wonderful, and you can go to the next step. If there are leaks, localize the locations of damage and stick them or vulcanize the raw rubber.

Further, in the prepared receiver, a hole is done under an additional nipple, a uniform jet of compressed air will later be published through it. The additional fitting is glued with a rubber repair kit and connect with the paintopult. In it unscrewing nipple - the air flow must be out free. Nipple left in the native nipple of the automotive chamber - it will work as a valve, holding excessive pressure.

Then experimentally determine the required level of air pressure in the receiver, spraying the paint on some surface. Enamel must go to evenly, without jerks. The amount of overpressure is determined using a pressure gauge and should be such that, when you press the aerator button, its level has not changed hoppy.

To collect such a compressor model will not be difficult, but you immediately make sure that the repair is performed using the compressor, rather than the canopy can. The main thing is to observe the rule - in the car chamber, and, therefore, and then moisture or dust should not fall into the paintopult. Otherwise, they are mixed with auto element, and all the work on coloring will need to be done again. The collected model will work regularly, but it is better to automate the injection of air and make additional changes in the design.

Semi-professional compressor for painting with your own hands

According to experts, self-made compressors with receivers have a longer service life than the model from domestic and foreign manufacturers. And this is understandable - everything is done with their own hands and, even if some item fails, replacing it will be a pair of minutes. Consider how to make an air compressor from easily accessible materials, which will be needed according to the list below:

  • Manometer
  • Gearbox with an oil-separating filter
  • Pressure control relays
  • Gasoline fuel filter
  • Water Cross (quarterbook) with three-fourth internal thread
  • Threaded adapters
  • Automobile clamps
  • Compressor engine
  • Receiver
  • Semi-synthetic engine oil viscosity 10w40
  • 220 volt toggle switch
  • Brass tubes
  • Oil-resistant hose
  • Thick board for the base
  • Pharmacy Syringe
  • Rust converter
  • Studs, nuts, washers
  • Sealant, Fuma Ribbon
  • Metal paint
  • Fellow
  • Furniture wheels
  • Filter of diesel engine power systems

Find all the components will not be difficult, it stands from the heart of the entire system - air supercharged.

Engine - automatic compressor actuator

As an engine, we use the compressor from the old refrigerator. As a rule, they are equipped with a launch relay, which is very convenient to continuously maintain a certain level of pressure in the receiver. It is preferable to use compressors from the refrigerators of the old Soviet sample, they allow forging higher pressure than their imported analogues.

I pull out the executive unit from the Old Refrigerator, clean it from the accumulated dirt and rust. Then treat the rust converter to protect yourself from further oxidation. By this, you will prepare the engine body for further painting.

Next, it should be swapped in the compressor. A regular refrigerator was carried out regular maintenance and replacing lubricant, which is fully justified - the system is completely isolated from the impact of the atmosphere. Oil can use a semi-synthetic motor, it is never inferior to compressor and, in addition, has many useful additives.

There are three tubes on the compressor - 2 open and one common. Open ends are designed to circulate air, one of the tubes is the entrance, the other is the output. To determine how the air is moving on the way, bring power to the compressor briefly. And remember which air duct is drawn by air, and which releases.

The sealed tube is designed for regulatory oil replacement. Closed end must be carefully removed. For this, in a circle inspiring the tube with a supfil, trying to make metal sawdust in the system. An inscribing tip is then weakened and drain the old oil into a vessel to determine the amount of replacement. And fill the semi-synthetic in a little more with a syringe.

Then the engine lubrication system must be dried. For what, choosing the screw of the appropriate size, wind up the fume tape for tightness, screw into the tube. The supercharger from the refrigerator has the properties of sweating with lubricant - that is, in the output air jet there are droplets of oil. They will detain the oil separator for the compressor. With your own hands, in the future, the engine with a start-up relay on a wooden basis to the position at which it is attached to the frame.

The compressor relay is sensitive to position in space and often its top cover is marked by the arrow. Only as proper installation The process of switching modes will be correct.

Capacity for compressed air

Best for storing compressed air suited cylinders from fire extinguishers. They are designed for high pressure, have a large safety margin and are ideal for mounting attachments. Consider as a receiver Metal body of the OU-10 fire extinguisher with a working volume of 10 liters. This cylinder is designed for a pressure of 15 MPa or 150 bar with a large margin of strength.

We turn out from the future receiver a locking and starting device (soup) and in its place we screw the adapter, on the thread of which for the seal we wake the fum ribbon. If the fire extinguisher has traces of corrosion, then they must be removed using abrasives and rust converter.

From the outside, everything is simple, and with the inner surface will have to tinker a little. To do this, inside the cylinder, we fill the tool cleansing from rust according to the instructions and carefully take the contents. Then we screw the water pipe, using the sealant and the FMU tape to seal. So, the two main details of our compressor are ready, and you can proceed to the next step.

Installation of details of the device

For ease of storage and movement, it is best to position all the compressor details compact on the same base. As the basis, we will use a wooden board, on it we reliably fix the engine - the supercharger and the fire extinguisher body.

The compressor engine is fixed using threaded studs, which have been done in advance drilled holes, and nuts with washers. The receiver is located vertically, using three sheets for fastening, in one of which cut the hole under the balloon.

Two others, with the help of self-tapping screws, attach to the bearing board and glue with the retaining receiver sheet. Under the bottom of the receiver, at the base, squeeze the recess corresponding to the size. For maneuverability, screw the wheels from furniture accessories to our base. Next, perform the following operations:


Now it remains only to paint the entire compressor and move to field tests.

Adjust the pressure in the receiver chamber

Collecting the design, it is necessary to check its performance. Connect to the output of the compressor the paint clock or gun to swing tires. After that, when the toggle is turned off, turn on the plug into the network. I exhibit the adjusting relay on minimal pressure and then apply power to the supercharger. The pressure generated in the receiver is controlled using a pressure gauge. Making sure that when the relay is reached, the engine turns off the engine, check the tightness of the air ducts and connections. It is easy to do with a soap solution.

Making sure that the compressed air does not go out of the system, wagate it from the receiver chamber. As soon as the pressure in the cylinder falls below the marker, the relay must work and run the compressor. If everything works properly, you can try to paint some unnecessary detail. Preliminary work on the preparation of the surface to apply enamel here is not required - it is important for us to work out skills and determine which pressure will need to paint the product. An experimental way determine the amount in the atmospheres, in which the excess pressure is enough for the color of the entire part of the uniform layer with a minimal number of opening the supercharger.

As you can see, create a car compressor with your own hands does not cause special difficulties. The device made according to the second version requires more time to manufacture, but it all pays off if further operations. The automatic pressure control and starter control system will allow working with great convenience without being distracted by control over the receiver chamber. You can apply the compressor not only for car care. With it, you can paint the fence, garage gate.

In order for the compressor to be created with your own hands for a long time, regulatory work should be carried out. This is primarily a regular change of oil and a timely replacement of filtering elements. Since we securely secured the engine based on, unscrew its meaning. For draining oil, we use the syringe. By revealing the clouding filling hole of the screw, we put on a tight hose on the tube and pump out the work. Fresh engine oil also pour with a syringe. With filters, everything is easier - change them as they are contaminated and reducing the speed of filling the receiver camera.

An alternative to choose - make your own hands or purchase finished products?

To date, the market of offerings of air compressors is replete with diversity. Piston, vibration, screw and many other classes of these devices are available for various purposes. Ready compressors can be bought in stores household appliances, auto parts, on specialized sites. The variety of products offered is so large that a lot of time will leave to choose from the desired product. If it is decided to purchase a ready-made device, carefully read specifications, Price variation and customer reviews.

Of course, it is better not to save and acquire expensive products from eminent brands. But large-budget purchase justifies yourself, only if you plan to repair cars professionally. The choice of little-known products is fraught with unjustified risks. Cheap models sin with poor-quality materials. It often happens that the parts of the engines fly instantly, and the repair under warranty takes several months.

From the position of reliability, the personnel assembly wins in many parameters. First, according to statistics, compressors in refrigerators work dozens of years. And the old refrigerator is not thrown out due to the driving engine, but due to the leakage of refrigerant or corrosion of the walls and the bottom. And there is nothing about the fire extinguisher and talk - they are made with a ten-fold margin of strength, which is immediately checked at the factory. So it may not be worth buying a cat in the bag, but make your own device on your own? Especially since after studying the material, you know how to make a compressor with your own hands in domestic conditions. A well-made and properly working device will not only delight the owner, but will also become the envy of familiar motorists.

Almost all motorists who every day are mastered in their garage every day, perfectly understand that having in your hands tools and constituents can always create something necessary.

In the same way, you can create a whole compressor for painting a car from an ordinary compressor for the refrigerator.

That's just how to do this in the technical plan, and in what strand?

Therefore, because of the often emerging issues of beginner masters of self-taking in this article, you will learn how to make such a compressor on your own and from under handicraft materials.

What compressor choose (factory or homemade)

The main criterion that should be guided by choosing a station for painting is a uniform air distribution, without foreign particles.

If such impurities get caught, the coverage will be with small defects - graininess, shaggy, caverns. In this case, due to these parts, drums and stains may form, so it's best to entrust painting by the corporate air compressor, that's just there is one snag - such a device is too expensive that many car enthusiasts do not afford.

Save funds and at the same time create a functional model by creating functional equipment, which is described in many videos and articles.

We will only have to spend its precious time on the study of the material, and then the creation of equipment that must be at least qualitative.

The model represented by the plant or homemade - the role does not play, because its principle of its action is the same and it consists in creating excessive pressure. Here is just a method of injection of air completely different - it can be produced by manual or mechanical.

In the second case, it is significantly high funds. manual way Economical, but time consuming, requiring permanent control.

Automatic pumping does not spend your strength, but the product requires periodic maintenance, which is only the process of replacing the oil for the compressor.

Only so can be achieved uniform feeding and air distribution. Having studied theory, you are aware of how it is easy to make a compressor station that will work efficiently, while this will not need a lot of time.

We collect the compressor installation from the girlfriend -

If you decide to create an equipment for painting your own car, then you should be as well as defined materials for this:

  1. For the reverse function, automotive chamber will be required;
  2. For the function of the supercharger, you will need a pump with a manometer;
  3. Chamber nipple;
  4. Remkomplekt and Shilo.

When all components are prepared can be proceeded to create a compressor station. To check as far as the camera is hermetic, it is necessary to carry it out.

If the problem still exists, then it can be solved in two ways - by baking or vulcanization of raw rubber. In the resulting reverse, it is necessary to do a hole for supplying compressed air so that it goes uniformly.

A special nipple is placed in the hole for this. Remkomplekt will serve to implement the additional fastener of the pin. To check the uniformity of the air supply, it is enough to unscrew the nipple. Native nipple allows you to get rid of excessive pressure.

The level of pressure is determined during the work when the paint is sprayed. If the enamel on the metal to fall uniformly, the installation is functioning. At the end of the procedure it is worth determining the pressure indicators for this, it is enough to spray paint on the body of your car.

If the enamel lay no tubercles, it means that the device functions efficiently. In addition, pressure indicators can be monitored using a special instrument - a pressure gauge. But, his indicator after pressing aurator should not be chaotic.

As you can see special tools And knowledge to create such a compressor will not need. In this case, the repair and painting of the car in this way more effective than the use of the canister.

Remember that neither dust nor water should get into the car chamber. Otherwise, you will have to reinstall the painting of the car.

If this installation is used correctly and using all knowledge, it will last long, and if you also automate the pumping air, then the process itself will pass quickly.

Alternative to a professional device (refrigerator compressor)

Homemade compressor devices serve much longer than the presented time even in comparison with the installations of domestic and foreign production.

It is quite natural, because creating it with your own hands, we do everything for yourself at the highest level. Therefore, the people even thought out how to create a compressor from the refrigerator, which will be at the level with the installations of popular firms.

That's just for its creation, you should stock such components as a pressure gauge, relays, rubber adapters, oil-separating, fuel filters, gearbox, motor, switch, hose, clamps, brass tubes, but also in trivia - nuts, paint, wheels from furniture.

Creation of the mechanism itself

Simplify the entire procedure can buy a compressor from the old refrigerator still Soviet times. This will not pull too much in the budget, while there is already a start-up relay compressor.

Foreign competitors are inferior to this model, because it is not able to work out such a high pressure. But the Soviet copes with such a task.

After eliminating the executive unit, it is desirable to clean the compressor from rust layers. To avoid in the future, the oxidation process is worth using the rust converter.

It turns out that the working casing of the motor is ready for the painting process.

Installation scheme

The preparatory process is completed, now you can replace the oil. Since the refrigerator is old and it is hardly permanent, it is worth updating this moment.

Since the system has always been far from external influence, then there was not justified by maintenance work. To carry out this procedure, it will not be necessary for expensive oil, enough and semi-synthetic.

In this case, it is not worse through the presented characteristics of any oil for the compressor and has many additives used with benefit.

Inspecting the compressor, you will find 3 tubes, one of them is already posted, but the rest are free. Open applied to input and output air. To understand how air will circulate, it is necessary to connect the power of the compressor.

Write down for yourself, which of the holes pulls the air, and which releases it. But the sealed tube should be revealed, it will serve as a hole to replace the oil.

The tip is necessary for the implementation of the tube, it is necessary to follow that the chips do not get inside the compressor. To determine how much oil is already there, we drain it into the container. With the subsequent replacement, you will know how much you have to pour it.

Then we take spitz and pour semi-synthetic, but this time count on that the volume should be twice as much as they already merged. When the container is filled with oil, it is worth drowning the engine lubrication system, it uses a screw that is pre-executed with the FUM tape and is placed simply in the tube.

Do not be afraid if periodically from the output air tube will appear drops of oil. It is not so difficult to resolve this situation, find the oil separator for homemade installation.

Preliminary works are finished, that's just now you can start directly assembling the installation. And they begin with the engine strengthening, it is best to choose a wooden base for this and in such a position so that it be on the frame.

It is worth noting that this item is very sensitive to the position, so you follow the instructions on the top cover, where the arrow is drawn. Accuracy is important in this matter, because the correctness of the installation depends on the correctness of the change of modes.

Where is the compressed air?

The cylinder can withstand high pressure is a container from the fire extinguisher. At the same time, they have high strength indicators and can be used as hinged equipment.

If you take on the basis of the OU-10 fire extinguisher, which accommodates 10 liters, then it is necessary to count on the pressure of B15 MPa. Unscrew the locking and starting device, instead of which you install an adapter. If you revealed traces of rust, then these places are mandatory to handle the rust converter.

Externally, it is not difficult to delete it, but it is more complicated to spend internal cleaning. But the easiest way inside the cylinder pour the converter itself and shake it well so that all the walls are impregnated with them.

When the cleaning is carried out, the water-conductive cross is screwed and we can assume that we have already prepared two working details of the self-made compressor design.

Conducting details

Previously, it was already negotiated that to perform the engine fixation and the fire extinguisher body will fit wooden plank, It is also easier to store workers.

In terms of engine mounting, threaded studs and washers will serve, only think in advance to make holes. To fix the receiver in vertically, the plywood will need.

It makes a notch under the balloon, the second and the third is fixed to the main board using self-uses and holds the receiver. To give the design of maneuverability, you should fasten the wheels from the furniture to the base.

In order for the dust to be in the system, it should be thought of its protection - the use of a filter for gasoline of coarse fuel purification can be considered an excellent option. With it, the function of the air intake will be easily executed.

Because on the holes with the input of the compressor equipment, the pressure indicators are low, it does not have to strengthen it.

Having created an input filter to carry out installation work with a compressor, do not forget to at the end to install the oil separator to avoid in the future of droplets of water. As the pressure indicators at the exit high, you will need automobile clamps.

The oil separator filter is joined by the gearbox input and the output of the pressure supercharger. To control the balloon pressure, the pressure gauge itself should be screwed on the right side, where the output is located on the opposite side.

To control pressure and power to 220V, set the relay to adjust. As an actuator, many masters recommend using RM5 (RDM5).

This device responds to work if the pressure drops, the compressor is turned on, if it rises, the device is completely discovered.

To establish proper pressure used springs on the relay. A large spring is responsible for the minimum indicator, but the small for the maximum, thereby establishing the framework of the work and disconnect the self-made compressor installation.

On the fact of PM5 is the usual two-contact switches. One contact will be needed to connect to zero network 220 V, and the second to combine with the supercharger.

The tuber is needed to spend off from it from the network and get rid of yourself from constant running in the direction of the socket. All connected wires for safety should be inlated. When these works are carried out, you can proceed the installation and check it.

Adjusting pressure

When the design is assembled, it is quite natural to check it. Connect the latest components - the spray or pneumatic equipment and connect the installation to the network.

We check the work of the relay how to cope with the engine shutdown, and follow the pressure using the pressure gauge. If everything works properly, go to check tightness.

To do this, it is easiest to use a soap solution. When tightness is tested, we water the air from the chamber. The compressor starts when the pressure drops below the minimum limit. Only after checking all systems and ghost them in the working state, you can proceed to the Painting Parts procedure.

For painting, you only need to determine the pressure and do not load yourself by pre-processing of the metal. To paint the uniform layer, it is necessary to experiment in this way and determine the atmospheric indicators.

It is important to use the supercharger as little as possible. Each motorist will understand the components and start making automobile compressor.

Can choose different variants Production, but the use of the navigator start, automatic pressure control is a more complex design, but its use is one and solid pleasure.

It does not have to give time to control the receiver, which will reveal more opportunities, and you can do a painting machine, fence or even a gate.

Regulatory work is a mandatory procedure in order to extend the work of its self-made compressor.

To replace the oil - a conventional syringe can be used to merge or pour it. Replacing the filters is carried out only if necessary when the speed of filling the tank chamber is reduced.

Binding components of the compressor

When it is decided which compressor to choose and reverse, it is worthwhile to make a question of their association. At the same time, it is worth determining how the air will go to the airbrush. For the distribution of air corresponds to the node that mounted to the receiver.

The main thing is that these components are compatible with each other. For the disconnection and switching on the compressor corresponds to the pressure relay. RDM-5 although it is used for water supply systems, but this perfect option For our case - for the relay.

The bottom line is that the element for the connection is suitable for an external inch thread. To find out what kind of pressure in the receiver, you must use a pressure gauge and pre-think the size that is suitable for the connection. In the air preparation unit, we supply pressure and adjust it within 10 atmospheres, at this stage you must attach the filter of the oil separator.

The pressure gauge allows you to check the pressure, and the filter allows you to prevent particles of oil from the receiver. Turns, tees and even fittings are the following components that will have to be prepared for installation. To understand exactly the number, you need to think through the scheme, select inch as size.

After resolving the issue with adapters, it is important to consider the installation point of the design, most often for this use plates chipboard. The design of your station should be maneuverable, because it will have to move it through the workshop to simplify the work, it is worth a feet of her legs.

It is not necessary to reinvent here for a long time, just visit the furniture, where there are quite a lot of such wheels from furniture. In order to save a place in your workshop, you can build a two-storey construction. But here it is better to stock up with large bolts for fixing the design. To simplify the preparation for this stage, make a list of mandatory components.

Assembly of the semi-professional air blower

The assembly begins with removing the spin of the fire extinguisher and installing the transition device. After removing the valve of the fire extinguisher, set the adapter there.

On the durable hose is carried out immediately four components - gearbox, pressure switch and adapter.

The next step will be fixing the wheels to the installation on the sheet of chipboard. Since the design is scheduled at two levels, it is necessary to make holes for the heels, where the fire extinguisher will be placed.

The hydroaccumulator is easier to collect, because there are brackets from two sides. The lower part is fixed to the base, and the upper one is fixed to install.

To reduce vibration when installing the compressor, silicone gaskets are used. The hose is connected to the output and input of air preparation.

The next step will be to carry out work on the connection. Jumper, protective elements - all this must be thought out.

Through the relay and switch, the entire connection chain is carried out, calculating that all connection passes according to the scheme: the phase wire enters the switch, the relay terminal is followed by connection. To ground the relay, a special wire is started.

What is better: buy or make a compressor yourself?

Compressor equipment on the market is represented by a large assortment. Piston components, vibration units, screw stations - all this components that are used in other areas.

If you wish, you can not spend your time on creating an installation, it is represented at any point of sale by auto parts or on specialized sites.

Such an extensive range significantly complicates the choice of the required product. But if you decide to purchase a station, this issue should be guided by technical indicators, worth and reviews of those who have already had time to evaluate.

If you chase for warranty periods, it is worth paying attention to the models of popular brands. Expensive products should be acquired if you are on the professional level by repair work.

You can bring up you products that do not have a name and status, so it's better to spend time once and no longer risk in this matter. Many manufacturers budget options Save on components components.

In the end, you will encounter frequent breakdowns and replacement parts, the warranty repair will take a long time. Therefore, many motorists perfectly understand that the installation collected in their own hands is sometimes more reliable than the factory.

Win such products with technical indicators. For example, components homemade device For painting, the car serves much longer - compressors from refrigerators can work for dozens of years, the fire extinguisher also has a colossal margin of safety.

You can always improve the indicators of your compressor yourself, everything is in your hands, but you don't experiment so much with the factory device.

The neighbors on the garage will surely acquire when they see a good made and thought-out device.

The air compressor is necessary to each car owner, as to use the services of automobile services with any problem is very expensive. For a city car enthusiast, living in a high-rise building, a fairly compact, portable electric pump for pumping tires. If there is own garage, the compressor device is already a mandatory measure. The device is useful for connecting a pneumatic tool for repairing and painting the machine. It is possible to make a compressor with your own hands, which will help save up to 50% of the cost of the production plant.

Principle of operation

Compressor homemade works on elementary scheme:

  • Connects the pump with electrical power or manual type.
  • In the container with hermetic execution (the receiver or cylinder is used) enters the pressure under pressure.
  • In the design, an output valve is arranged, which sends the air along the hoses to the paintopult, the wrench, the adapter for pumping tires, etc.

The auxiliary elements use a pressure gauge for pressure control and an automatic system for excess excess air. To prevent rapid wear of the device and provide high-quality results, filters are connected to the output highway to protect oil and moisture.

Air compressor need to each car owner

Fire extinguisher compressor with a motor from a refrigerator

To create a homemade compressor, the OU-10 fire extinguisher is suitable or analog.

The procedure is performed in stages below the detailed instruction:

  • Bolon from within and outside to clean from the residues of the foam solution, dirt, rust and other contaminants.
  • Insert an adapter into the thread, the installation must be tightly made.
  • To the adapter, fill the quarter, the carving is internal, size ¾ inch.

  • automal;
  • file;
  • small wheels from toy machines or furniture;
  • motor filter from diesel engine.

Collect the engine

First prepare the motor. His role is the injection of air pressure. In order not to buy a special engine, you can use the engine from the old refrigerator.

Motor from the old refrigerator for the manufacture of compressor

A relay is present in the power unit device, it will be useful to maintain the selected pressure value in the system. Professionals noted that Soviet refrigerators were equipped with more efficient motors, they are suitable for creating a compressor of greater power in comparison with imported products.

The first thing the motor is removed from the refrigerator. So that it becomes suitable for use, you have to expose the cleaning case. It is important to apply detergentwhich prevents oxidation and corrosion. After stripping the surface of the motor is suitable for staining.

Build homemade compressor:

  • The engine contains 3 tubes: 1 sealed and 2 open to air circulation. It is required to define the output and input channel: the easiest way to learn about the role of the tubes is to turn on the motor.
  • After external processing, it is necessary to replace the oil. A semi-synthetic agent is best suited, which is not inferior to the engine and contains various useful components. For replacement, a muffled tube is used, the end of which is spilled with a file. It is important to prevent sawdust in the system, so by making an inscription, you need to break the tube and introduce new oil with a syringe.
  • It is important to highlight a channel for refueling oil to prevent leakage. A screw is selected with the corresponding cross section, a fum-tape is applied to it. In the process uses sealant. Bolt tightly screwed into the pipe.
  • Motor and relays are fixed on a thick blackboard. The sensitivity of the relay requires the observance of the angle of the motor, which was present in the refrigerator. Additionally, the engine is installed on the engine with the recommended location of the housing for stable and full-fledged operation.

Tank for compressed air

Air capacity is an integral compressor component, without which the installation does not work. When choosing a tank, it is important to consider the pressure value that the cylinder can withstands (indicated on the case). An alternative option will be the use of a receiver, old containers from a 10-liter fire extinguisher, since these tanks are sealed and sufficiently reliable.

Air capacity - an integral compressor component, without which the installation does not work

The starting valve is replaced with a thread adapter that is screwed to the receiver. Creating a hermetic connection will provide the use of FMA tape.

In the presence of foci of corrosion at the receiver, it is pre-purified by sandpaper or grinding machine. To remove rust from the inside, a special means is poured and mixed thoroughly. Next, the cross adapter of the water type is installed, it is mounted using the sealant.

Collect the device

Final assembly It is performed in stages:

  • The prepared receiver and the motor are attached to the thick board. For fixing to the base, the washers, nuts and studs are used. The location of the tank is strictly vertical. The reliable compound will provide 3 sheets of plywood, on one of which the hole is cut to the insertion of the container. The remaining sheets are attached to the tree and the plywood retrofitter of the receiver. From the side of the floor to the bottom welded furniture wheels for ease of movement.
  • A hose from rubber is put on the air gripping tube to which the cleansing filter is mounted from a gasoline engine. Separate fixators for fastening the filter will not be required, because the inlet pressure is low.
  • To prevent the oil and water particles from entering the output tube, an oil-separating filter from a diesel engine is installed in the output tube. Because of the relatively high pressure in the wire, it is recommended to use auxiliary fasteners, screw clamps are suitable.
  • The purifier filter is installed on the gearbox input, it will be required to create a junction and direction of air movement. The compound is performed by a water-type crusade on both sides. The opposite face is set to the press service or pressure gauge for controlling and adjusting the pressure level in the receiver. Top of the cross sets the adjustment relay. All elements are mounted hermetically.

Materials for assembling homemade compressor

  • By means of adjusting pressure, an interrupted work of the self-made design is ensured. To adjust the relay, they affect 2 springs: one to install the maximum pressure, and the second is minimal.
  • Contact electrical chain Connects to the supercharger, and the second is connected to the minus phase. The second wire is switched to the supercharger through the toggle switch and the phase of the network. The toggle switch serves as a start-up button to activate and deactivate the device without removing the fork. All contacts are connected by the soldering method, and then insulated.
  • Painting metal structures.

After creating the compressor, it remains only to check its performance.

Test and configure homemade

Having made a powerful compressor with your own hands, you should connect the paintopult to it.

Algorithm verification:

  • The position of the toggle is in an inactive position, the plug is connected to the electrical circuit.
  • Initially, to install a relay on a low value and start the installation. Control work on the testimony of the pressure gauge. Now the user should be convinced of the relay service, it should erode the chain when indicators exceeding.
  • To check the absence of leaks, a soap solution is used, which are wetted all connections.
  • Now the paintopult is included to release the capacity from the air. If the system is properly, after dropping the pressure, the machine should turn on.

If the device has passed all stages of the check, it is recommended to try out the device in the case, trying to paint the body element. The greatest attention is paid to the quality of the layer and composition, as well as stability of work.

We are experiencing and tighten the homemade compressor for painting cars

  • The reservoir is necessarily cleaned from the inside and outside, otherwise the progressive corrosion will create a hole. Sandblasting is one of the most efficient and simple ways Cleaning. Created with relative ease.
  • Before the start of work, the body elements are richt. You can go on the standard path and use the hammer, hood, spotter, and then paint the case, but the designed helps to eliminate damage without painting.
  • Be sure to color the paintopult is carried out after applying the soil. It is extremely effective, but it has features of work and compatibility with other materials.
  • Before staining, all adjacent elements are either dismantled or worse, it is especially concerned. When paints hit the glass there is a risk of material damage in the process of eliminating the means. A set for repair of autoslaps will help restore the glass from most damage. Railings on the roof of the car is difficult to dismantle, it is better to cover with a film and slaughter with scotch.

Conclusion

In the manufacture of a compressor electric type Manually removed to save a considerable amount. Additionally, the design can be achieved to create a device suitable for specific purposes. Ready installation is often used for staining, connecting sandblasting, blowing the body after washing and pumping the wheels.

Each garage owner dreams of its own source of compressed air - having a compressor in the garage covers, you can make an independently a lot of work on the repair of your car. But the cost of the new compressor is large enough, and acquire the old on your own and risk is not the most successful idea. Although, in rare cases, you can stumble upon a very profitable deal. If you still need professional equipment, then you can familiarize yourself with the catalog implemented by LLC TEHMASH LLC.

But in any case, the high-pressure compressor with its own hands is a great option that requires minimal spending.

What is needed for this? First, you need to know how the elementary compressor installation is functioning in the kit. And this is the engine, compressor (unit), receiver, connection parts. The engine transmits rotating movements to the pulley of the compressor using the belt transmission tools. Action Compressor absorbs atmospheric airThat further gets into the compression chamber. Piston movement reduces the working volume of the cylinder, inevitably squeezing the air. The surrounded air medium after the receiver is chosen, and after the hoses, air drives the air, sprays the paint, supplies a different tool with energy. The receiver is necessary to eliminate pulsation caused by uneven squeezing air with a piston compressor.

Secondly, when creating a high-pressure compressor with your own hands, you need to determine what purpose it is planned to use a compressor, as this is a defining factor in search of the necessary elements. Choosing a high pressure unit in 10 atmospheres, it is possible for a long time to ensure yourself with a compressed air for the operation of any type of pneumatic tools. For such a machine, a container is needed as a receiver, capable of withstanding the rendered internal pressure. A well-saved fire extinguisher of ex-consuming, capacity from a gas cylinder or self-made capacity made by welding a plugged piece of pipe can be served as a receiver. But at the same time, the quality of the welds and the metal state must withstand the internal pressure not lower than one and a half times higher than the operating pressure of the compressor. This will allow you to fully ensure the safe use of the homemade receiver.

The inner part of the tank must be protected from corrosion. There are many special fluids for such operations. Then you can give a cylinder aesthetic look, painting it. The receiver can be set horizontally or vertically, depending on its shape and from the desire of the author's idea. Deciding with the position of the tank, it should be proceeded to drill holes - at the bottom of the hole is necessary for periodic condensate drain, which accumulates at the bottom of the cylinder.

The faucet for the drain of the liquid must withstand the pressure generated by the compressor. Under the diameter and pitch of the tap of the crane cuts internal thread In the recently drilled hole.

Next is screwed up the crane - it is possible to use seals or silicone sealant to reliability. Then the same thing is done in the middle part of the receiver to supply air into it and at the top for exit. At the inlet to the container, it is necessary to mount the check valve so that the air does not have the ability to break into the opposite direction towards the compressor.


At the output, the cross-cutting valve of the appropriate pressure and diameter is screwed. The outlet is best done at the top of the receiver, since in this case the maximum amount of fluid will remain at the bottom of the cylinder. The pressure gauge can be installed by making a separate hole for it and cutting a suitable thread in it or attach it to the outlet to the crane. Due to the manometer, it will be possible to control the work of the high-pressure self-made compressor and, if necessary, to install more accurate adjustment. Another not an unavailable moment - so that the compressor has the ability to periodically turn off and cool at this time, attention should be paid to the value of the receiver. You should not do it small - the more receiver, the less you will need to include the compressor.

As the main unit, you can use compressors from an old household refrigerator or a serviceable used installation. Often car enthusiasts use a compressor by 12 volts to swipe the wheels. Variants are set. The main thing is to determine what purpose the compressor is needed and how much air is needed. The advantages of refrigerated motorscompressors are that they already have an engine in their design. In addition, they create an extremely low number of noise. The disadvantages include what when working with an air environment, and not with the gas freon, the compressor needs a frequent replacement of lubricating oil. As for electric pumps to swing tires - it is also a good choice To create a high-pressure compressor with your own hands. But at the same time will have to ensure it dC By 12 volts, that is, an additional power supply will be required. And the volume of the receiver must be calculated precisely under a certain model, since the time of periodic operation of such pumps is limited, and it will have to have time to dial the required pressure in the receiver before turning off.

For greater ease of use of the compressor, you can accommodate a very useful detail - the press service. Set it best on the receiver. Thanks to this device, it is possible to competently adjust the start and disabling the unit, which is necessary to control the pressure in the receiver and the uniform operation of the compressor and the electric motor.

The press service will relieve from the need to manually include and turn off the compressor, which means the exclusion of the risks of overheating of the electric motor and the destruction of the elements of the compressor installation caused by excessive overpressure.
