Goulds water cooled air compressor
« on: 20 June, 2016, 07:39:09 am »
Hello all
Here's something a bit different. A Goulds water cooled air compressor.
I picked it from another Scott in town. How un-canny is that?
Anyways, it has an outrigger bearing on the flywheel side that's not in the pictures. It also seems that the crankshaft is in the wrong way as it would be hard to get a water pipe in the the water ports in the compressor.
I have had a cursory look on the idiotnet but have found virtually no reference to Goulds air compressor pumps. Does anyone know anything about them? It has a 3x5" bore
I thought it was worth buying if it was only for the pulley. It's 24" diameter.

I'm going to mount this so any number of engines can have a go at making it go round and round. It might be OK to blow up balloons or blow some air around at rallies?  ;D

Cheers Scott

;D I did not have to drive a metre for this one. It came to me. How's that for training the 'rubbish'?  ;D

Cheers Scott

I got quizzed by dee the other day when I told her I did not bring back anything. Apparently that was a mistake on my behalf and hopefully I have learnt.

We have been at Rallies and occasionally people come up and say they have one like it or similar and if you want it, it is yours for the taking. Don
't want to offend these people so we find a place to fit it onto Lorry somewhere and away we go.
