Really nice job on the compressor .I might have done it a little different than what you did but overall I think it turned out pretty nice . Maybe next time you could try jet-strip or a citrus based paint remover instead of having to go through all the hassle of using a grinder for removing the paint . Out of curiosity how much did everything cost aside from the used parts you recycled ? Anyway great job and 👍👍👍 ✌🗽
Any excuse I get to use my grinders I do. Something therapeutic about them. Being a painter for a custom oem trailer shop love my job. But I would used a grinder then a orbital or Palm sander with 180 and 320 would only take a few minutes even by hand. You could still see the scrapes clearly. Still looks good, I would have used some spray can primer, then paint, some cheap spray clear as it's gonna get dirty and maybe oil leak out and such. Unless I was already doin a 2k clear on a show trailer or something. This gives me some ideas. But one I want to try is making a compressor from two push lawnmower engines. You take one and with a belt connect it to the other and take the spark plug out of your secondary and use a fitting. And your operational motor will spin the it and it pumps air a good bit actually good cfms. And can rig them up on one unit making it portable. Filtered air and their splash lubricated. As long as it has compression and you can get plug out. Doesn't matter if the carb is messed up or whatever don't need it. Just need air to get in. I've seen s couple videos on them. Or it can spin a car alternator hooked to a power inverter and car battery. You can also make little generators and pumps out of little two strokes as well. A small alternator or with a pulley change is easy even for a small weed eater motor to turn

Functionally operates just as it should kzhead.infoUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.
Your project was very informative. The number of commercials puts you in competition with cable.
This isn't a DYI project for an amateur. He really knows exactly what he's doing. It requires both mechanical and electrical skills to it safely. A good, fun project.
The only problem with using a fridge compressor is that it is normally cooled by the refrigerant returning to it from the suction inlet, so it will not last very long if used continuously, it will burn out, The other problem is that the oil from the compressor also comes out of it from the discharge as it is running, so the tank will collect the oil and the compressor will run out of oil and seize. An oil separator is needed to collect it, and should be returned into the compressor housing regularly, it can be refilled by the suction inlet. the tank is also missing a drain port at the bottom in order to remove the water accumulation in the tank.
This is what I was thinking I thought at first the drain might be the old top of tank last fitting he put in. You'd have to turn the tank forward 90 degrees if thaf was it. I didn't recall seeing a pressure relief valve. And was wondering if the compressor would run with no oil or how it would work as the oil will be pumped our the discharge in short time. But I wouldn't mind using some of these tanks as storage tanks for extra capacity if I got them free. 11 gallon tank is only like $40 and just needs a 1/2 inch npt fitting swap to get rid of the bs fitting they come with. Or Lowe's has a 7 gallon one 185 Pai rated with the regular industrial fitting and right npt on for $60. I run 2-3 compressors in parallel with a t fitting into a portable tank and run my main line from it. 50 ft lines to let the air cool for the separators and that makes it easy to connect to separate breakers. 40-50 gallons 125-150 psi depending on which ones I use. And 7 to 8 cfm@90 for if I use the smaller one with one of my other two 10cfm if I use my two main ones. And 12.5 cfm if I connect all three. Usually always have two. Even if I don't need both for some jobs I leave it connected for extra storage capacity. Works great for painting. And j don't need dedicated 220v and I can load it in and out my truck in 5 mins and paint or air things up anywhere. Get great deals off Craigslist for compressors oiled and oil less. All oiless use the same internals there's one company that makes the sleeves piston and rod. There's like two literally that cover every brand. And it only cost $30 if the motor is good you can get compressors for a steal and for 30$ have a brand new oilless compressors. Or you can go to harbor freight spend 300 on 2 21 gallon compressors or the 10 gallon versions and have 10cfm @90 the same as entry level 60s start out with for $500-600 without installation or wiring. And it's portable. Win win. Constant supply of cheap Craigslist compressors people never use and get rid off. Especially right before Christmas and right after winter ends people clean up. I wish I would have saved the tanks on a few. But once they get older and Don know previous drain history I've erred on the safett side. But a nice big propane cylinder would be great . If j ever do a stationary here it would be tank. Pricing tanks it's cheaper to buy station unit 60-80 gallons then just the tank makes no damn sense
I like your observations sir... It looks like you have a lot of knowledge about compressors 😊
You are right about this, I have an A\C compressor that i was going convert as shown in this video. With the compressor running standalone, it gets very hot! It also does eject fine droplets of oil as u have mentioned.
And the life of the compressor is also shortened because it sucks moisture and that is very bad for a refrigeration compressor , the oil is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture and deteriorates it too , anyway it's a good use before you throw it away .
It is true.
This is pretty dang cool. I’m not sure if he reused the rubber bushings that came on the pump (I didn’t see them in the parts pile) but figured I’d mention it would help stop vibration and noise if just having the pump mounted touching the tank.

Good project and a use for these throw away items although I expect it takes ages to reach any useble pressure.
Thanks for the electrical connections! Nice work! 😉👍
Fantastico!!! My late uncle on his deer farm would have been proud of you! Great skills on the welding gear and a very practical application of enterprise. Thanks for posting. Cheers - from New Zealand
I just think it's awesome that junk can be turned into something so useful
Wonderful innovative idea to use old Fridge compressor. I like this project and would like make one such typoe of compressor for my design work to do the full and half tone advertisement posters and packing boxes.It's me from New Delhi NCR..
I just finished making one. Thanks!
As statedby multiple other commenters, welding on a pressure vessel is a recipe for disaster and often a fatal one. At the very least you could do a hydrostatic strain test yourself (if you're so cheap that your life is worth less than the $25 any welding shop would Charge to do one) and run it up to at least 150% of the intended working pressure. And secondly, ditch the teflon tape and pickup a tube of pipe dope, it seals better, less messy & best of all, you can make adjustments to the fitting without compromising the seal. Lastly, those compressors do like to spit their oil so fitting an oil trap between it and your reservoir would be a good addition then drill/tap a fill port in the compressor shell that you can pour the collected oil back in periodically, works like a charm for me and mine have been operating in pretty gruel conditions as vacuum pumps for the better part of 15 years.
⭐️ Just so people know: Always fill gas bottles to the TOP with water. This will displace any residual flammable gas before cutting, drilling or welding! It’s not done to clean the inside.

thanks men you just save a lot of lives. imagine people making DIY air compressor using old gas tank drilling it right away without filling watter to degas the tank ..
Its not gas tank bro this is some different 😉👍
@@MrDKDIY Hey, no worries 😉 Love the channel btw

I always wondered how Harbour Freight Compressors were made! Thanks a lot.

Yes sir now I know how to make an compressor and a generator awesome free generator using without magical liquid form
you such a great inventor for this making silent Compressor useful work
Hi. Thank tou for the vídeo. Can you list ALL pieces and conections? Will bem Very good
Muito bem explicado este passo a passo congratulation the friend for Brazil
Very descriptable and showing the main parts to take into account, Thanks buddy.
Geez, the knockers are about. Maybe this guy doesn't have $40 to 'buy' one. His workshop and tools are pretty average (no offence) but is functional so I am guessing he isnt a wealthy individual with credit cards at the ready. Looks like he scrounged and saved the major parts to this. He even may have the $40 but likes to test himself and be creative as to what he can make from bits lying around rather than flashing the credit card at the local hardware superstore. Hats off to him for being creative, working through the project and completing it. Hats off also to the guys here with constructive comments ie drain valves etc. To the "shoppers" who posted here, I never understood why you would pay $100 at the outlets for a product that cost $40 (or less) to make. That laziness cost you $60.
trust myself more than anyone else alive, that's why learning and diy, or having the knowledge hands on, is super important. one time I didn't have time to do my own oil change , air filter etc , went to drive through quick change, watched like a hawk, stopped big mistakes, dipstick, air filter cover, oil cap not replaced correctly. This dude is my hero, I do my own mowers etc also my own electronics. my $1500 3d 4ktv isn't made anymore, $50 all in diy, back to 100% #supportrighttorepair
Love the music. Serious.
Exelente trabajo amigo, siempre quise hacer uno de esos felicidades
Perfect for light duty work!
Good idea, especially when recycling become a world priority. Just a little remark for the lack of drain plug, discharge valve (the group cannot start again under high pressure) and the most important, a security valve. Personnaly, for Fe/Cu connection, i never use teflon tape. I prefer anaerobic resin.
Good point about the recycling issue .In this world of consumer mass consumption and throw away goods , people have forgotten about how to rebuild things or tinkering . I grew up poor as a kid and learned a lot about mechanics and working on my own cars and whatever else I had to fix because we couldn't afford to pay for repairs or to buy something new. Funny how the same people who used to laugh at me because I was too poor to have new things would later come to me with all their mechanical problems . Now because of the lack of skilled labor and the lack of knowledge in mechanics or salvaging things we have a shortage of skilled labor in various markets like welding or electricians . All the kids are being pushed to learn about computers and IT when we really need skilled engineers and craftsmen (or women ) especially considering the fact that the infrastructure in this country is in dire need of a rebuild .

This is a great job sir🤗 thank you sir , , i have an idea home made😅
I built one in 1975 to do airbrushing. I chose a refrigerator compressor because it's so quiet. It was a smaller compressor, but volume wasn't a concern because an airbrush takes very little volume. I mounted a little propane bottle on top of the compressor to smooth out the airflow, a pressure switch and an air regulator, and a tee handle to carry it around. I put rubber feet on it to cut down the noise even further. It was almost silent and very light. One mistake I made is didn't put a tank drain on it and the tank rusted out after a few years. I was wondering how you drained your tank. I suppose you could open the propane valve but you would have to tip it up on end. Nice build, thanks for posting!
I used to use a fridge compressor to evac commercial refrigeration units and domestic fridges and freezers before re-gassing them, an old fridge motor makes a fantastic vacuum pump.
The whole concept is really sharp! But the music has me ready to climb the walls. Luckily, I could turn sound off!
Faltou apenas um detalhe, a válvula de drenagem, porém ótimo trabalho.
Good idea and invention you acknowledge to skill in you good job thank you for I see your KZhead God bless you i'am from Philippines but still in Israel I work ask a caregiver old man
You put a lot of work into this project.
Few years ago i tried to make some thing similar, but over heating was the issue. In case of refrigerator the cold gas returning back cools the compressor -motor, but here the compressed air rather heats the setup. In a Compressor there is a proper arrangement to take away the heat generated. These type of air compressors can run for a few minutes only.
Right, and such a small tank, you have very little working capacity. Also, it takes forever for the thing to pump up.
Yes, you are right, this is not practicable, also tank can bust due to high pressure.
You have a great ideas. Please put your materials that you have used in this DIY air compressor. God bless you.
Excellent idea!
excellent thumb up only as a suggestion it is very important that you have a threaded outlet at the bottom to purge the water that condenses inside the tank since otherwise this water will cause corrosion inside the tank tank ... but excellent video !!! great skill!!!
THAT SO COOL
Great build minus the air/fuel filter! Perhaps use it in conjunction with a water trap but by its self I don't know
air intake needs a filter to keep the dirt out of the compressor.
I needed this 20 years ago. I had gas bottles fridges. I had no idea. Great video.
Очень хорошо, молодец!!!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Saya mau bikin tapi belum kesampaian jg
Saya dah bikin gan, pake tabung gas 3kg, gk pake sistem las cukup pake nepel dan shock...
This is awesome stuff

You have a new subscriber. I appreciate your creative mind. "Leaders are readers". Background music is also booom. 💃💃💃
Wow Beautiful unbelievable please keep it up.
Very well done. The. Compressor motor needs to placed 4 rubber shock absorber to prevent vibration. Thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Crear es muy satisfactorio y mostrarlo a los demás produce alegría hice uno y me quedo genial te felicito Amigo
I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS THOUGH!!!
Michael Gale This man is a genius and he is gifted by almighty gun. It takes a genius to use the word “though” . So far I have compressor , given to me by a friend. Thank you Dk FYI , you rock , I need a tank , though. 😂
Thank you 🙏🏼
yeah some human are so creative i belive.
Bravo I like things like this, you’re the man.
You can immerse the pipe in hot water when putting it on nipple, it will prevent you some force. Great build. Enjoyed it. :-)
Nice project , I'm curious of the psi it reached and if there is a safety valve installed.
Great project and a good way to recycle. I would suggest installing a drain plug or your tank will rust from the inside. Thanks
Screw you
I thought the same thing, however this is very small and mobile so just tilt it to the original top valve and drain the water out that way.
Justo lo que necesitaba saber, gracias por su tutorialp
I am purely amazed 😃😃😃
GREAT JOB!!!
1 side for air, 1 side for vac best tool in the garage!
A lot of jealous people will find a problem with your invention why because they always do I thought you did a real good job making your Air compressor👌👋👍
It's crudely made, but, hey it works. You can still add the water vapor plug at any time. Great job.
great compressor and tank quiet nice info very informative video a good thumbs up video
Thanks Pete Peterson
@@MrDKDIY no no thank you have a good veterans day
I personally think that for a home made unit you did an excellent job! The remark that teflon tape isn't recommended for air fittings is not quite correct! I managed an automotive wholesale tool and equipment warehouse and we built air compressors from 1/4hp up to 25hp, Electric, gas and diesel driven on 20 gallon tanks all the way to 240 gallon and we used teflon tape for all of the connections and we never had any complaints from customers that any line was plugged or leaked. All units were fully ran and tested before leaving the warehouse. I would make one recommendation though and it was mentioned in another reply, that you need to install a drain cock in the bottom of the tank to facilitate draining any water that accumulates in the tank and should be done on a daily basis when the compressor is used. One more thing, any welding done on a tank deteriorates the integrity of the metal which will cause a failure at the weld. However I don't think it's a problem that you have to contend with, with the pressures that you will be dealing with on that unit. Good luck and keep the Fantastic Videos coming, they are enjoyable!
I recommend laying out _all_ the fiddly bits -- perhaps on the melamine -- in their expected relationships _before_ begininning the assembly. If possible, treat sub-assemblies first without disturbing the lay-out, add the completed sub-assemblies back to the layout, and progress through until everything that can be done 'in the air' is done, then hook it up to the big iron. The countrr-top layout doesn't _have_ to use the actual parts (e.g. the air line, the electrical lines), but some proxy would help tyros to grok the recipe and the process.
When applying PTFE tape, always wrap in the same direction as the rotation of tightening. Nice end result, but by the time you buy all the components it would be as cheap to buy a compressor out of a retail outlet.!!
No it wouldn't...most of the stuff is free, ; the rest wouldn't come over $50 on ebay, compared to $200 Aus these days for the cheapest one over here
He wrapped the ptfe tape onto the fittings in the correct direction, but it always amuses me when people release the tape from the roll like they're using sticky tape....it's much easier to control if you wrap it onto a fitting from the top side of tape, not the roll side...👍😜 Also.....bit of a concern...I don't see a PRV or NRV anywhere, and no tube connected to the unloader...gotta ask how long it's gonna keep working??...LOL
If you wrap the PTFE tape in the direction of the tightening it will undo the PTFE tape when it tightens your wrong. Have the thread of the bolt facing you and wrap it clockwise then when you tighten it, it will be tightening the tape on the thread
I once worked with a welder who insisted that PTFE tape wouldn't work on black iron pipe. His problem was that in the past he had wrapped a joint in the wrong direction and the tape rolled out of the joint when he screwed it together. He was convinced that it wouldn't work, and nobody was ever able to get him to come around.
I've said this before to others in here but I'll ask here too: How loud is a running average sized workshop air-compressor? How loud is a running everyday fridge? That alone is a good reason make an air compressor out of a fridge compressor. I've thought about modifying an air compressor to use a fridge compressor and watched this video to see how it might be done.
so neat and professionally done. lest me forget about the pandemic for a moment what we are having right now. thank you and stay safe!
كل التحيات لك سيدي وشكرا ع هذا الابتكار
Nice but Compressor is slow to fill the tank it'll consume more time
I would personally avoid welding the pressure vessel if at all possible. You could do all of the same things using the existing port and a different variety of fittings. Just my $0.02 ☺️
Muy buen trabajo. Felicidades. Saludos desde Barcelona Cataluña
You have a new subscriber. I appreciate your creative mind.
Great repurpose of stuff that would end up in landfill. Inexpensive build for something that would cost around $150 (IMO). Few questions - How do you handle oil for the compressor? What is the max pressure you could charge the propane tank to? And, how long does it take to charge to 150 PSI? Thanks!!
Very well, Manoel!!!
Ok,..all you need now is Buck Rogers to test it out on Merciless Ming.....make a good miniature rickshaw for streets of Pakistan English Mik
Hi, I admire your genius , but, find the video lacking in information on the items used outside of the fridge bits, ie, parts, sizes etc. Don’t stop showing us your brilliance, as an engineer, I admire you.👍
Cool but how do u keep compressor lubricated and also from the lubrication escaping with the air? Cuz fridge compressors move gas freon with its compatible oil together.
The compressor intake inside the housing has baffles to prevent the oil from being sucked in with the gas. Lubrication is provided by splash within the shell. If he wanted to he could occasionally add a small amount of oil through his air intake tube. kzhead.info/sun/ZrmwqJGXjZeZe6c/bejne.html I had to look it up, you had my curiosity up with your excellent question!
The compressor already has oil in it, hence why you cant use it for spray painting unless you have a oil trap.
I had used an oil bubbler on compressor the intake and a line dryer before the quick connect for my airbrush compressor
NEVER DO THIS!!! IT IS DANGEROUS AS HELL!!! THE COMPRESSOR IS AT RISK OF EXPLODING!!! A COMPRESSOR THAT IS DESIGNED AS AN AIR COMPRESSOR IS BUILT TO RETAIN THE CRANKCASE OIL IN THE CRANKCASE AND OUT OF THE COMPRESSION CHAMBER. A REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW OIL INTO THE COMPRESSION CHAMBER SO THAT IT WILL CIRCULATE THROUGH THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM. WHEN THE COMPRESSION CHAMBER IS FILLED WITH REFRIGERANT, IT IS SAFE TO ALLOW OIL IN THE CHAMBER BECAUSE THERE IS NO OXYGEN PRESENT. WHEN A REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR IS USED TO COMPRESS AIR, OIL AND OXYGEN ARE BOTH PRESENT IN THE CHAMBER, AND THE OIL COULD EASILY DETONATE!!! NEVER DO THIS!!! IT IS DANGEROUS AS HELL!!! THE COMPRESSOR IS AT RISK OF EXPLODING!!!
Ricambi Ariston per cldaie
can you tell me what all parts I need to build like that compresor
Que de mais para vc reduzir o barulho do seu compressor, o aconselho pegar borrachas e colocar nos pés antes das arruelas e após encaixar o motor coloque arruelas e aí sim a porca. Parabéns adorei seu projeto
Nice idea creative brilliant.
Many many thanks
Nice job making it from scratch. A LOT of time could be saved if you bought a used air compressor for cheap and just replaced the electric motor with the compressor motor, but you would still need to find a way to replace the oil that is lost from the compressor. You might want to use a smaller 2 gallon tank, due to long refill time. It would make a nice airbrush compressor. Pretty nice DIY though.
Typical answer....... well I can do it better lmfao
No pressure safety valve set for 110% of maximum pressure...in case the pressure switch failed to act... An over pressure horn will be an advantage.. An air filter at the delivery side ..
Need to release pressure in the hose to connect to the tank so the pump can restart to pump again easily, if not the pump sometimes can not restart to pump again when pressure inside the tank is about 2 bars (usable pressured ).. I have built 2 of this and used up to 10 years now, very quiet compressors always use them at about 1- 5Am no body else complain noisy !
Very creative, good job making it look like it was bought. That is a great idea because everyone hates it when the compressor turns on.
Mr. DK DIY, a safety relief valve may be something you should consider. Also, a refrigerator compressor needs lubrication it would normally get from the Freon, does it not?
Ok v ery good I well copy it
That's the point: with this configuration, oil will keep leaving up to the point the compressor will get dry and fail.
@@larrywildman4381 I must have missed something. You actually WANT it to fail?
Nice project. I would of built a cart for the tank and motor to sit on, instead of welding on the tank, less stress on the tank. 👍
Nice hobby$$$
Great idea 😊 Amazing DIY Compressor. I'm your new fan from Philippines for Making DIY things 🙏 Salute you sir
Thanks a lot
@@MrDKDIY Your welcome sir. My hobbies is DIY Everything but no have a powertools to use for DIY like you use too😑😢
Like it that it is not noisy unlike most other common air compressors in the market.
u have not installed NRV in compressor air discharge line and water drain vlave at cyclender bottom.
NRV means nitro release valve?
refrigerant compressor got built-in nrv
Great job boss , only one question , how does the compressor get cool when it runs little longer ?
It is oil cooled. That thing can run for a loooooong time. I'd say its pretty quiet to run also
Amigo me encanto tu vídeo, me pareció fantástico podrías decirme de cuantos caballos es el motor de la refrigeradora, desde santiago de galicia Colombia
so innovative
Great job bro,keep making
thanks bro for Nice comment :)
I am a 40 year welder and I do not recommend a do it yourself person. Weld on a pressure vessel. The risk of explosion is too high. Get a certified welder to do that part and pressure test it afterwards It would be better to buy an already tested air tank instead
You are wright!
Amen brother my cousin got himself killed with one of these
You only live once.
I'm surprised you did not notice he was stick welding Malleable Iron pipe fittings he runs a very high chance of the weld failing. More like when, not if it fails. At least I am out of range of that disaster
Richard, that was my only concern also. It’s a high pressure vessel. Incorrect welding can compromise the metal’s elasticity.
Very interesting
buen trabajo maestro gracias
He fergot add a drain plug to it fer any trapped water or liquids
Without a pressure relief valve this is an accident waiting to happen. These compressors can do 600psi - 800psi. Looking at the P12TY compressor specification the best you`ll get is 1cfm. You do need to replace the oil that was in the compressor because when it comes Into contact with air and moisture it will turn acidic and eat the copper motor windings. Your compressor will need 400ml of a non foaming mineral based hydraulic oil. Lastly, these compressors shouldnt exceed a 50% duty cycle or a case temperature of 100 deg C as it will degrade the oil. The compressor has an internal thermal trip to protect the windings but the trip rating is based on refrigerant not air. If the trip operates, you can be sure you are not doing the compressor any good ;)
That's what the spigot was for in the middle front.
He did reuse the shutoff valve. I guess he could turn the tank upside-down and open the valve to let the water out. This is the least of his worries, compressor lubrication is the bigger problem, not to mention it dumps air rather quickly and the compressor cant keep up. For a little over $100.00 you can purchase a 6 gal. commercial grade compressor at, Harbor Freight.
Iff you drain it the oil ccomes out with it and will kill it
yep, my only issue & I have built many compressors from salvaged compressors and components. but have also had 1 when I was very young fail due to water inside near where leg was welded at factory. plus got a few free small ones that had rusted out tanks I rebuilt so add a simple drain plug of some sort.
Excellent job! ............ except there is no drain plug to remove water and condensation and there is no blow off valve or discharge valve. One more minor thing I might add is that you REALLY NEED TO LEARN how to wrap teflon tape around threads. That is NOT the way to wrap threads. But other than that..... BRAVISSIMO!👍👍👍
Svaka cast majstore ziv bio .!
Good works idol
Why did you overlay music in the background? We wanted to estimate the noise level.Good Job nevertheless!
it uses a refridgerator motor so the noise will be like your fridge/freezer, obviously
Good project, but the only problem I have with it is not using a respirator. Welding galvanized metal produces a toxic gas. FYI
may I know what are the sizes of each threaded connectors you used? Planning here to make my own compressor for my micro airbrush.
Good job.. Thx.
