Automotive Nozzle Flow Performance Test Platform Based on Negative Pressure Method - Supporting Multi-Vacuum Flow Evaluation and Achieving Accurate Determination of Nozzle Ventilation Performance
Project Background
A certain company specializes in manufacturing crankcase ventilation valves for car engines. The main function of this valve is to regulate the gas flow in the crankcase to ensure smooth engine operation. To determine whether the performance of such valves meets the standards, it is necessary to simulate their actual working conditions, that is, to test whether the gas flow through the valve meets the specified flow standard under different vacuum suction conditions.
The original testing equipment was manual, with slow response speeds for pressure control and flow measurement, low accuracy, poor repeatability, and low efficiency requiring repeated tests. Therefore, the company's technicians contacted AccuFlow Technology to seek a high-precision, high-stability, and fast-response automated pressure control and flow measurement solution.
Our independently developed pressure controller and flow meter have good accuracy, stability, and an intelligent and efficient operating method. They can precisely match the customer's required testing methods, significantly improve testing efficiency, and provide reliable and efficient assurance for the customer's quality control.
Customer Needs
1, It is necessary to measure the flow data of the valve under different negative pressure conditions such as -60kPa, -50kPa, -40kPa, and -20kPa. These vacuum pressure values cover the typical environments that this valve may encounter in actual applications. Flow data is collected under these pressure conditions, The measured flow data is compared and analyzed with the specified flow standard values to accurately determine whether the valve meets the design requirements. Ultimately, the pass rate of this valve product can be effectively detected , providing reliable test data for subsequent batch production acceptance, performance screening, and other processes.
2. The dynamic stability and response speed of the existing equipment's absolute pressure control do not meet the standards, resulting in poor repeatability of the test data and affecting efficiency. Specifically: When the vacuum changes from -60kPa to -50kPa , the equipment takes a long time to stabilize at the target pressure, and the pressure fluctuation is too large after stabilization; at the same time, the response delay of the flow sensor is obvious when the pressure changes, and the deviation between the three measurements of the same valve under the same vacuum is large. This forces the inspectors to perform multiple repeated measurements to verify the reliability of the data, greatly increasing the testing time, seriously affecting work efficiency, and may also lead to misjudgment due to data uncertainty, causing subsequent quality risks.
3. If a similar foreign solution is adopted, it will not only affect the progress of the production plan but also increase the company's operating costs. Choosing to cooperate with our company ensures timely and efficient communication, guarantees the supply cycle of related equipment, and greatly reduces procurement and maintenance costs, greatly optimizing the cost structure.
