car - a whole range of different systems and units whose work is closely linked.Consequently, any vehicle is not insured against unforeseen breakdowns.In the event of malfunction of the car is required to be sent for inspection.Often this word mean drivers test machines using computer tester.But this is not always true - sometimes the cause of failure is so simple that you can cope with it, without leaving home.But if the problem relates to infringement of tightness of a system, there would have to buy a smoke generator for cars.The price of such devices is about 5-6 thousand rubles.But you can go the other way.Save decent amount of money is quite possible to obtain a smoke generator for cars with his hands.What kind of tool and how it is made?Answers to these questions will learn in the course of today's article.
Characteristics and functions
Generally smoke generator for cars (made with his own hands, or the factory - it does not matter) is used for efficient testing for leaks of various engine components.This may be the exhaust system, the intake air cooling or any other system, which are not permitted leakage during operation.Also, this device is used to detect punctures or tire leak detection optics (often in such cases, it 'sweats).The principle of the smoke generator based on the use of thick smoke (mostly white) is fed under pressure 0.3-0.5 bar in the system and allows to identify any leaks with minimal effort, which would be impossible to determine with the naked eye.
How to make a smoke generator for cars?Cooking tools
to manufacture this device we need:
- purge air gun.
- cigarettes.
- source of compressed air.
- pressure regulator.
All of these parts can be purchased at any hardware-tool magazine.As the penultimate element (compressed air) is recommended to use a compact compressor.As an alternative approach, in this case the wheel cylinder.
Started
purge gun have a little upgrade.That inner opening, which will be inserted into a cigarette (the tool tip) must have a diameter of 8-8.3 mm.If this value is smaller, by means of the drill hole to drill out the above parameters.
Then connect air pressure regulator with pre-modified gun.This also connect a source of compressed air.It should be noted that the output pressure must be not very large, so the compressor can choose the weakest.You may have to vary the air flow to get the most optimal way of smoke.The very same pressure must not exceed the mark of 0.5 bar.If this value is greater detail diagnose leaks will be more difficult, because the whole set need to stock up on cigarettes.
Then everything is simple.We put in the nose gun cigarette, burned it, and screwed into the first tool.Everything at this stage smoke generator was successfully made with his own hands!
You can also use other, more complex methods of manufacture of diagnostic equipment.Therefore, we will provide the car almost professional diagnosis for leaks.
Do smoke generator for cars with his hands - the way №2
Unlike the first method, the device of the smoke generator will be more expensive to manufacture.But in the end we get a much higher yield of smoke, respectively, the device will be more convenient to use.
We modernize syringe grease
The basis of design take the body from the syringe-lubrication.It can be purchased for around 300-500 rubles.As in the first case, with a gun and a syringe would have to modify their own hands.in the middle of the device you need to mount the partition adapter.On the one hand it is screwed into the candle glow.The latter can take any of the domestic diesel engine (for example, by MMZ D 240 or 245, which is installed on ZIL "Bull").As the voltage of glow plugs must comply with 12 or 24V.For the first scheme you want to apply the power limit.The simplest and cheapest option is to use the relay turns.Thanks to this part while the candle is reduced almost twice.
second part
As further produced smoke generator for cars with his hands?Continue to drill more holes in the top cover of the syringe.They will we need to supply air from one side and exit of smoke from the other.At the entrance, you must install a pressure regulator which will ensure the flow of oxygen less than 0.2-0.3 atmospheres.At the outlet hose is mounted check valve.It can take from the power supply system of the carburettor engine.As for the use of oil for the diagnosis amiss either, but is usually used child Johnsons baby, glycerol or liquid smoke concert settings.Everything at this stage smoke generator for cars with his hands successfully made.As you can see, just a few minutes you can create a device, similar in functionality to professional, which costs 5-6 thousand rubles.
So, we figured out how to make a smoke generator with their hands and what tools and materials required for this.
