Is this compressor any good.. can't find info on it

[boshuter]

I picked up a large dehumidifier brand new for next to nothing the other day. I'd like to see if any of it is worth using for a SS. I can't find any info on the compressor, either in google, or on manufacturers site. If any of you can help with info on this compressor, it would be appreciated. Info off the label is below....

LG Electronics
QA114CBD
1PH 60hz 115V LRA38
R22

Other than the serial number, which I'll post if it helps... that's about it.

Ok.... I did find it on LG's site. Is this compressor any good for a SS?

compressor specs

These specs can't be for ur compressor because:

1st. You say LRA is 38 but the spec sheet says 19.
2nd. You say its 115v but the spec sheet says its 208v
3rd. That compressor on the spec sheet is an air conditioning compressor.
4th. I have yet to see a dehumidifier that runs on R22 instead of R12,R134a,or RS-24.

I pulled one apart, and it used R22. Panasonic R22 rotary.

I guess I got the wrong spec sheet from the site.... the one that chilly posted is correct. I guess now you've seen a dehumidifier that runs on R22

Now that we have the correct specs.. my original question still stands, is it any good for a SS?

[chilly1]

yes It will do phase change fine..
YOU can also sut it up as a chller as it stands just reconfigure the coils so the evap in in a tank of coolant to be circulated..
OR cut it out and install a complete evap/lineset..

[boshuter]

Thanks chilly..... I've been considering using it as a chiller. If the compressor is good enough I may buy one of your evap kits and go direct die. Can you tell me what approximate rating this compressor would have? IE; 1/4hp, 1/3hp, 1/2hp, etc.? I don't want to spend money for a good evap if it won't have enough capacity for my Intel 775 cpu's, or I could use it for a gpu cooler if it won't do the cpu's. Any advice as to the best use for this will be appreciated.

Thanks again for the help..
