All motorists dream of acquiring a foam generator for washing, but many of the purchase holds a high price. We offer to familiarize yourself with the production of improvised foam generator, which will help save the family budget.
Composite parts of the foam generator for washing
For the manufacture of the device, you can use unnecessary parts that will be found in any garage.
Supports such items:
- Capacity for water and detergent.
- Air compressor.
- Reservoir (pipe) for foam formation.
- To improve efficiency, you can use a special gun to control foam feed and tip to increase the density of foam, but if they are not not worth spending money.
Bleeding
For tank with detergent, any container is suitable, able to withstand the pressure of the automotive compressor. You can use a cylinder for compressed gas or durable thick-walled plastic containers. In the tank, you must perform holes for supplying air from the compressor and removal of the detergent fluid. There must also be a hole through which the car shampoo is poured, water diluted in the required proportion. The opening should be hermetically closed.
Foam formation device
You will need an inch tube with a length of at least 0.5 m. The internal cavity of the pipe is filled in with a polyethylene washcloth or a lines of different sections. If you use the fishing line, then you will pre-twist it in the ball. A grid forming bubbles is formed in the pipe than they are less in diameter, the more dense foam.
Tube on both sides, screw the plugs with threaded holes. One plug screw the T-shaped tee. To the free hole of the tee connect the hose from the air compressor of the car, which remains - the hose to the container with the foaming agent.
In the cap, from the opposite side of the pipe, screw the hose through which foam will be given. Together with the foam from the pipe, parts of the washcloth did not come out between the hose and the pipe, install a filter made of metal mesh.
Air compressor for washing
The most expensive element of the device may be an air compressor. It is allowed to use aggregates from old trucks, for example, from ZIL-130. Before use, check the absence of defects on the compressor, otherwise the device will not work for a long time. A portion of the air from the compressor enters the tank with a liquid, the other part goes to the creation of pressure in the hose in front of the device for forming a foam.
Principle of operation of the foam generator for washing
During operation, air from the compressor enters the container with the liquid, squeezes it from the tank and moves it to the tee in front of the device for the formation of foam. On another hose, the compressed air supplies a fluid from a tee into a pipe, where the foam is formed, which then goes on the other side of the pipe and falls on the car. Reducing the supply of air from the compressor to the tee, you can change the characteristics of the foam.
The foam generator made with their own hands is unlikely to be beautiful, but in its properties it will not differ from expensive professional devices.
