I want to build a nitrox stik to do continuous blending for Nitrox up to 40%.
From the oxygen hackers companion.
My question relates to what calculations I need to do to determine the best diameter for the PVC body
Also, the length of the mixing chamber.
It makes sense that the diameter of the chamber is sized based on the flow rate. Too small, and you are restricting air flow to the compressor, too big, and you will adversely effect the mixing.
In terms of length, I wouls assume flow rate, and diameter come into play in this calculation. Too short, and you don't get a good homogenous mixture.
Any advice would be appreciated?
