Q: What is the air flow (CFM) of this vacuum pump? Is it suitable for home AC maintenance?
A: This pump has a flow rate of 3.5 CFM and an ultimate vacuum pressure of <20Pa, making it ideal for quickly evacuating home and vehicle AC systems. It far exceeds the needs of DIY users.
Q: How loud is the pump? Will it disturb the work environment?
A: The noise level is ≤70dB (comparable to normal conversation). Featuring cast aluminum housing for noise reduction, it operates quieter than similar pumps with iron casings. Fit for use in garages, workshops, or other enclosed spaces.
Q: What does the current protector do?
A: The built-in 4.5A overload protection automatically shuts off power if there is unstable voltage or motor overheating, keeping damage from the motor. Simply press the reset button after maintenance to restart the pump.
Q: What pipe diameters does the intake port accommodate? Do I need to buy an additional adapter?
A: The standard intake fittings are 1/4" SAE and 1/2" ACME, covering 90% of AC hose specifications. For special connections, you can pair it with commercially available adapters (like 3/8" NPT).
