Okay...One for the masses, older-skool wrenchers to the new wave techies.
93 IDIT Factory 093
I've been looking at a lot of different ways (including looking 'round OB) to get a LOW Budget water injection setup in the SuperDuke, and I'm almost there...How low you ask?
At this point I have invested a lot of time...learning about flow rates, injector spray paterns, droplet size, single vs multi stage design, constant vs progressive pump control...thermal coefficients of expansion, and even latent heat of evaporation somethin-er-other...
And I don't have the means, just right now to...fffwhtt!!!...pull $500-900 US outta my pocket (or anywhere else) for a buy-N-fly system.
What I do have is one- 12vdc 160 psi, 8L/min pump; two-Danfoss 240vac constant duty solenoids; seven- 3/8" pushlock x 1/8" mnpt nickel-over-brass fittings, two 3/8" pushlock bulkhead unions;
AND
One commercial grade BUNN coffee maker, that has been eviscerated...soon to be TIG'd up on all seams, with appropriate holes added for lid, vent, out and return flow....the math says it'll hold 7.43 US gallons.
>The crux of my problem is nozzle/flow calculations and flow control. I just ain't quite getting it. I'm no math-magician...if there's anyone out there, on here, that could or would kindly chime in and bless me with a nugget o' knowledge...
