Abstract

The present study developed an air flow generator system with standard syringes usually adapted for spirometer calibration. It consisted of servo-motor, driver, linear robot, and controller operating as a whole integrated system capable of generating air flows at different speeds on two identical 3L syringes. Experiments demonstrated high accuracy in both flow and volume generation as required such that relative errors were approximately 2.1% and 0.5%, respectively.
