A few years back I picked up a large air
compressor from an old shop that was closing
down, and I'm trying to find info on what I
have.
There are no tags on either the compressor
pump or on the electric motor. I was told the
motor is 3 phase.
As the pictures show, both the pump and motor
are big 'ol things! Dr Pepper can added to show
scale.
Anyone have any ideas of how many HP this
motor would be? Or does anyone recognize the
compressor pump and have info on it such as
make, HP requirements, RPM, etc.?
I'd like to get this setup working
again(possibly with a new motor, although we
have a 3 phase line running 150ft from the shop
so that's a possibility). My main concern is
that the cost be less than what going and
buying a good new 80 gallon 2 stage compressor would run.
