Hi All,
I'm new to the forum.
Getting my separator build going.
Trying to do what I think is a "proper" job measuring CFM losses as I add components to the system.
I got my end filter part build and working with almost no flow loss to my excitement.
Now Top Hat separator attempts so far disappointing, I'm measuring flow with cheap anemometer on 5 inch inlets/outlets:
- Impeller only nothing added: ~7000 ft/min
- Top Hat with 3D printed Parabolic internal outlet: ~ 3500 ft/min
- Top hat with 3D printed straight inlet pipe: below 3000 ft/min
Is this to be expected? 50% flow loss is kind of high IMHO!
This is where link to a Video was supposed to be, but system told me I can't post external links :(
