MANUAL BLOWER DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The report presents the method of selecting a suitable blower type for manual drive; describes the experimental and theoretical investigations which led to the development of three key components (valves, piston and surge-tank). Results of tests are analyzed that show the blower having more than 65% total efficiency and a stiff pressure vs volume curve. Design for mass production is suggested; calculation of components for the mass produced version is explained so that the mass produced blower should at least be as efficient as the test-version described in this report.
