12 volt pump for car freon ac oil?
I am working on a project with electromagnets and I need to keep the coils cool for long periods of time so I am looking for a good 12 volt pump that will handle freon or ac coolant. not antifreeze. but ac coolant. I am working on a self powering dc to ac generator using the electromagnets. I have got the plans and since I want to be able to run it for weeks at a time I need a good cooling system for my electromagnet to keep the coils from burning up. can anyone give me any ideas. My system will power itself and be able to handle a 6000 watt dc to ac Inverter to run TVs and such. since I want to use the system to power itself and use no gas or any other type of fuel I have to keep the electromagnet from burning up to run the generator. Like I said this will be a self powering system if I can keep the magnet coils from burning up. thanks for any ideas.
My system is using a alternator and a car battery for the dc power and using a ac to dc inverter to put out the ac power. I have figured out a way to make my electromagnet turn the alternator at the right speed to keep the battery charged and run everything else but I need to keep my electromagnet from over heating. and yes this is self powered by the magnet and alternator and battery. the magnet turns the alternator ( my secret how ) then the alternator charges the battery and the battery runs the dc ac inverter. also the battery and alternator sends the power to the magnet to make a loop. all i need is a way to keep the electromagnet cool for long periods of time either by belt driven ( no problem with my design or 12 volt battery powered.)

You actually need a compressor to handle a refrigerant gas. There are many of those for cars or trucks, you may be able to adapt one of those to your application. The ones for coolers are the smallest but also the least expensive.
Unless I am missing an energy input you have not stated, you cannot make the system to be self powering with no external energy source. That would be a perpetual motion machine. You will have energy output from the system in the form of heat from your cooling system and generator and also the electricity you are exporting to your TVs and other devices. And there are other mechanical/electrical inefficiencies that must be commentated for. You need to input energy.

Inverters (as well as prime movers) use air or water cooling
rather than a refrigerant.
Common refrigerant temperatures cannot exceed 130F without
generating astronomical vapor pressures.
Refrigerant heat capacity does not approach water's.
Refrigerant's are used for their latent heat of vaporization
and many have critical temperatures above which they will not liquefy.
The A/C compressor in an automobile is belt driven by the engine,
and draws 3-4 hp. DC power is not compatible with hermetic or
semi-hermetic compressors.

You had the freon evacuated and placed R134a lower back in? Your motor vehicle takes R134a, no longer freon. you may no longer even purchase freon except you have a license. You upload a pair oz. of oil, then put in R134a till it hits 45psi at 80 degree (exterior air temperature) and it is going to be high quality.
