This is a brief summary of my contributions and responsibilities during my co-op at Honeywell Aerospace which was formerly Ballard Unmanned Systems before being acquired in October 2020 during my time there. The coolant pump life testing and drop-in circuit board test fixture projects are explained in greater detail on their respective pages from the Honeywell Aerospace drop-down menu above.

• Installed and operated test stands for coolant pump life testing to evaluate performance between models and configurations; this entailed putting together pump assemblies, making cables for connecting sensors, plumbing up coolant loops to simulate the fuel cell BOP, and recording test data using a DAQ and data acquisition software
• Assisted in the testing of refueling hardware for high-pressure hydrogen gas such as pressure regulators and tanks; I helped set up the test facility operations following safety procedures, assembled and installed components to be tested, and monitored safety and performance of experiments
• Utilized SolidWorks to update fuel cell system parts and create new parts for a variety of internal R&D projects
• Designed and built a portable test fixture for circuit boards with a drop-in mounting scheme that fits a variety of board sizes to make testing different boards easy and convenient
• Regularly conducted research into topics such as O-ring applications, tubing materials, and filtration media and summarized results to colleagues through presentations and team meetings to inform about next steps for projects
Improved the design of the H2 tank holders for a drone system to easily press them onto their rails for easier setup/troubleshooting

The tank holders needed to be secure and reliable to holster the H2 tank to the bottom of the drone; the notch in the middle of the holder ensures they can fit around the bottom ports of the drone base to maintain tank security without compromising positioning

Designed a standoff mount for the new blower backplate to thermally sink it to the metal BOP tray like it would actually be used

After several experiments the aluminum standoff proved to dissipate heat from the blower which would improve performance

The bypass housing for the pump assemblies featured an O-ring groove for reliable coolant management, but the initial design would leak after enough use revealing an issue with the O-ring/groove design

I designed a test manifold to evaluate different O-ring groove designs, both in diameter and thickness, to determine which design would reliably house the bypass servo motor for the pump assemblies

Although I left Honeywell before I was able to conduct this experiment, the manifold was easy to setup and pump coolant water through to replicate actual bypass conditions
