Cenco Hyvac
Well I found this little jewel in a shed that I am tearing down, https://www.google.com/search?q=cenc...nAw9IHM:&vet=1
But I can't find any specific info on it.
It has a short hose with a regular air compressor connector, but has no tank So where does whatever is being vacuumed out go?
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Possibly used for industrial or scientific use. If you are actually vacuuming up anything with a pump like that, you have a trap or tank of some sort to keep it well away from the pump.
Think hospital vacuum source or a dairy farm setup. Nothing gets close to the pump.

I thought I found an on-line manual for it, but ended up getting a bunch of crap downloaded on my computer. I just spent the last 10 minutes at least uninstalling all of it.
I guess I'm back to ground zero on my search for info.

That looks very much like a typical HVAC vacuum pump used back in the day before refrigerant recovery was mandated. It would have been used for nothing more than evacuating a system of new construction or under repair.

You might want to take a close and serious look at your computer. Just clicking on the image in the link causes Norton Internet Security to go ape. Its listed as a known dangerous web site that installs malware.

I have used that type to pull a vacuum on steam absorber chillers at a hospital I worked at. We did not run them during the winter as our cooling towers were not set up to run during the winters in CT so they would sit for a few months.
During this time the vacuum it would maintain during the running would be lost so at start up for the season we would need to pull a deep vacuum before starting, other wise the chillers would not work.
Till they were on line for a bit, we would have to start & stop chillers (AC) for heat, we may have had to use the vacuum pump a few times on each of the 2 chillers.
BTW 1 was 300 ton the other 500 tons. During the summer we would have both running max out and need to start a 500 ton York centrifugal chiller, it ran on R22, we did not need to use the pump on it in the 15 years I worked there.

Did you get to go to the lake to set it up?
That would have been cool to say you did that.
After 15 years, last 10 as a fore man and 6 men 24/7/365, at the hospital in HVAC, also in charge of 2 emergency gen sets, in coming power (2 lines), all medical gases, water and in house fire dept. I called it quits and went in to computer repair and desk side support.
Did computers for 15 years and now drive a trailer truck, tanker 10k gal of LP to bulk storage and 26 tons powered cement to cement plants.
Hope to do this till I retire in (I hope) less than 10 years.

I don't regret my time there---made good money and through Ralph's profit sharing plan I left with enough money to buy an on-going business. Seems like 1984 was just yesterday................
