Welcome!
Welcome to my Flowbench page . . .

This page will be updated as I go along with my design and construction . . .
if and when my flowbench design every gets completed I will be offering these services to the public.

I would also like to display other flowbench designs and welcome your submissions for display on this site.
And maybe in the future also make this site a "clearing house" for flowbench design and sharing of ideas.

 


UPDATE: This is a picture of my flowbench that is currently under design/construction. 

You can see the Casio PDA in the middle of the bench that is used to take the flowbench readings

I know it doesn't look "pretty" but it does work quite nicely.

I have a test plate that was flowed on 3 different benchs to give an average, and my bench is within a few CFM's


This bench is based on a pitot/annubar setup for measuring airflow. It can test parts at 10" of water. Currently on the prototype unit I am using a leaf blower motor or shop vac to generate the flow depression.

The new bench I am building will be much bigger and have upwards of 6-8 blowers this should allow me to reach static pressure readings of 28" of water and much higher CFM rates.

Like I said this is a prototype flowbench so as you can see I have things running all over the place!!

Here are some exclusive "spy" pics of the Casio PDA/Sensor unit I am field testing.

 Some close-up pics of the Casio unit showing some readings of a test in progress and the flow sensor box mounted on the backside of the flowbench. As you can see from the readings it is really accurate and gives you a really good idea of what your flow is. I was testing at 8" but the PDA is converting the flow over to 28"

   
This is my efriend Don's flowbench, Don and I have been trading ideas for the past year or so.

His bench is based on the Audie Tech Flow computer

I hope my bench looks as good when its complete!!

We both have spent alot of time researching and playing with various ideas and concepts to get where we both are today  . . .
please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I will see if I can help you along the way.
