Homemade Flow Bench

While using a shop vacuum to move air through the flow bench the fp1 processor estimates the flow data to 28 wc test pressure in real time as the flow test is being performed.

Homemade flow bench.

Flow benches can teach you a lot but as mentioned they don t show hp. A flowbench or air flow bench is a tool to measure the air flow capabilities of anything that s required to do this. Diy flowbench design diy flowbench design and construction what s a flowbench. Home made flow bench worth it.

This micro flow bench is the most basic easiest to build flow bench using the flow performance kit fp2 0bs. The flow bench is used as a tool for measuring and quantifying modifications and improvements made to items such as automotive cylinder heads and carburettors by detecting air flow improvements. This flow bench uses a shop vacuum for estimated flow data. It is and has been for decades an invaluable tool to any one interested in increasing the performance of combustion engines.

The diy flow bench is a basic system to measure and display volumetric air flow. Note that all of the vacuum motors used in construction are recycled so the total cost may vary depending on what one is able to obtain second hand. With high tech electronic sensors and a patented state of the art air flow metering element effective flow rate measurements can now be made with nothing more than an average shop vac for an air source. Start with a reading on the manometer with the plate completely blocked off for a zero flow depression test.

We had a nice superflow bench at epa and while it was cool and all it really is just a big shop vac and an incline manometer which you can make easily. Establishing the numbers step 1. I m with oj on this one. The flow bench provides air flow through a component.

Make sure your bench is sealed so no leakage takes place except through the test piece. This flow bench will use blower motors scavenged from household vacuum cleaners to generate the airflow necessary for testing.
