Final Hardware
Final hardware with linked up sensors, flow control, chambers, and sealed honeycomb.
CAD render of inlet and outlet chambers with the variable mounting device.
Silicone Transverse Edge Sealing
Silicone Transverse Edge Sealing
Silicone is applied to the open edges.
To keep the edges flat and square, wax paper can be used.
Positive Pressure Testing
Positive Pressure Testing
Once the outlet chamber was manufactured a positive pressure test was conducted to determine if there were leaks.
Three leaks were found and welded, then tested again, until no more leaks were found.
Initial Assembly and Manufactured Chambers
Initial Assembly and Manufactured Chambers
Initial assembly of chambers without VMD walls.
Back view of outlet chamber.
Front isometric view of inlet chamber. Gaskets can be seen.
Dunk Test with Prototype Chamber
Dunk Test with Prototype Chamber
The proof of concept chamber was modified and used for multiple dunk tests to determine and iterate the VMD until no leaks were found.
Proof of Concept Chamber and Variable Mounting Device
Proof of Concept Chamber and Variable Mounting Device
This acrylic chamber was made as a proof of concept to help test the viability of the variable mounting device.
Proof of Concept Chamber and Variable Mounting Device
Proof of Concept Chamber and Variable Mounting Device
This was the very first risk reduction test that was completed and was just testing the viability of our flow control method and measuring a pressure drop across a small orifice in a 3D printed part.
