Homemade Flow Bench Plans
This way the bench.
Homemade flow bench plans. Generally most diy flow benches modify flow rate by using a manual valving system. Establishing the numbers step 1. This micro flow bench is the most basic easiest to build flow bench using the flow performance kit fp2 0bs. It is and has been for decades an invaluable tool to any one interested in increasing the performance of combustion engines.
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. These wooden storage benches with back require a bit of extra woodworking skills. A flowbench or air flow bench is a tool to measure the air flow capabilities of anything that s required to do this. You can find ana s free building plans for the blue garden bench here the swing bench here and the wood bench with back here.
These beautiful garden benches are made by ana white. Use 2 4 wood and 3 4 thick plywood to create the bench frame. Open the 5 cfm orifice. This is a valid option but we instead opted to build a motor controller.
Diy flowbench design diy flowbench design and construction what s a flowbench. Diy wood benches with back. Cut the footboard in half to use the halves as armrests. Typically the pressure drop across the component is held constant 28 inches of water or about 1 psi is a common standard pressure for cylinder heads and the air flow is measured.
Building a motor controller severely increases the complexity of the project but gives more possibilities for convenient automated testing and more importantly consistency. Start with a reading on the manometer with the plate completely blocked off for a zero flow depression test. The flow bench provides air flow through a component. Sand and paint or stain the wood to get the design you.
