Air Compressor - product enhancement for new markets and effect of harmonics on product performance
FY 2019-20 · 2019-05-06
Summary
Mechanical Engineering Student objectives. 1-Prototype the Crossfire with stacked top works to accommodate 8 cylinders in order to double the output of the compressor 2-Redesign the load block of the compressor for closer to zero maintenance status and potentially reduce power consumption 3-Test and confirm power consumption and air output of a 80PSI compressor with 1.5 inch cylinders 3-work on the development of a spring loaded dual seal fluid end for environmental protection and less field maintenance.
Electrical Engineering Contractor to determine and quantify the effect of harmonics the performance of VFD's powered by solar arrays and wave form attenuation caused by conductor resistance. Required for installations instructions.

Description (French)
Objectifs des étudiants en génie mécanique. 1 - Prototyper le Crossfire avec un toit empilable pour accueillir 8 cylindres afin de doubler la puissance de sortie du compresseur. 2 - Reconcevoir le bloc de charge du compresseur pour se rapprocher de zéro maintenance et réduire potentiellement la consommation de puissance. 3 - Tester et confirmer la puissance absorbée et l'air sortant du compresseur 80 Livres par pouce carré à 1,5 pouces. 4 - Travailler au développement de la double étanchéité à ressort du fluide en bout pour une protection environnementale et une maintenance moins intensive. Entrepreneur en génie électrique pour déterminer et quantifier l'effet des harmoniques sur la performance des VFD alimentés par des panneaux solaires et l'atténuation de la forme d'onde causée par la résistance des conducteurs. Requis pour les instructions d'installation.
