RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Mushroom Vent CAD Assembly Options




I have used Bimba Air cylinders to pressure balance certain parts of our inspection tools.  They run in a natural gas environment up to 2500 psi pressure.  They worked quite well.

Vance & Brent,
Have a look at Bimba cylinders (they make them in S.S.).  John Holt at Harbor Branch use to swear by them.

The three way just vents it through a bronze muffler fitting into the main cabin. Even at 2250 psi, the volume is miniscule. I'll get back to you on the pistons.

Thanks Vance,


What brand and model of single line pneumatic actuator were you looking at using?   As it turns out my current assembly only needs 1 to 1.5 inches movement in the acturator. For a single line unit, when the air pressure is released from the actuator, where does that air go?  I'm guessing it goes into the cabin unless it's plumbing outside or into a empty tank.

Greetings SMMOMs,


I've been working on a number of different ways to configure my version of a Mushroom vent for the front and rear MBT's on my K-250. This is the one I like the best so far.


http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Plunger%20Assembly


http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Mushroom%20Vent%20Concept%20Main%20Assembly



It's mostly made up of 1/4" X 1" 316 SS bar stock, and 1" thick black UHMW. So the goal is for it to be easy and affordable to make and assemble. I made a mock up of the single line, spring loaded pneumatic cylinder Vance was talking about, which I would like to use in this assembly.  I will need to trim away some material on the plunger land, and the piece cut out when I made the whole in the FRP MBT, that meets the bottom of the FRP MBT, and then attach them with Seka flex and SS screws.  This way I can have a clean look on the top area of the MBT's, and the angle I have to mount the vent on aids in letting almost all the air out. The very small air pockets left I'm thinking will not be an issue. I thought mounting the vent this way would be better for my application, since the knuckle curvature of the heads and the high point of the MBT's are in the same area.


I'm interested in your guys thoughts on this concept design. I've uploaded three screen capture clips of the assembly animated on Youtube.  The quality is not that great on Youtube, so if anyone would like better quality versions of these clips, let me know off list and I'll send them to you.
