Default : Refridgeration compressor question...

"Stormin Mormon" fired this volley in
:

I wonder if these compressors will run continuous (ie an
hour at a time)
without issue while pulling a good vacuum?


No, they won't, but not so much for the cooling aspect (although that's an
issue).

They're designed to run in a positive pressure condition. At a vacuum,
arcing often begins inside, due to insulation breakdown.
