Could not even pilot the Orbit valve.
The turbine blowers and fans probingly don't apply to high pressure compressed air source ventilators. They are more in line with the needs of the low pressure air source ventilators.?
But for those of us looking at low pressure source ventilator design, your fan data is valuable.?
By the way, it seems many of the air mattress blower type inflators can produce more than the 55 mbar that is the pressure specified for the max output pressure of the Medtronic ventilator. (A low pressure source turbine design.) If air mattress inflators were used, multiple in parallel would provide redundancy to make up for the likely less robust design of these blowers.?
Speaking of low pressure designs, a way to mix oxygen into the air seems to be needed for any design to be useful. Possibly just rapidity pulsing a solenoid valve base on calculations bases on air flow. Like the fuel injection on your car.?
