Project 2
Project Description
The goal of this project was to design a reaction stand that sealed and secured a reaction chamber and mixer assembly. The reaction stand included specialty ports for addition, probing, and condensate collection. The reaction stand also contained a custom surface condenser and a shield to protect from a potential explosion.
Mechanical Design
Designed a structure to create the environment for all proceeding parts to assemble
Designed a plate that would securely mount and seal the reaction chamber
Designed and optimized the locations of the specialty ports in the mounting plate
Designed a system for addition ports that would allow material to be added to the reaction chamber without breaking the vacuum seal
Designed a surface condenser to be operated in line with a vacuum line
Designed a system to heat the platen and control the temperature to a specified range
Designed a shield to protect from potential explosions.
Customized instrumentation and control using Swagelok parts
Electrical Design
Integrated platen heater and thermocouple with existing temperature controller
Machining
Fabricated mounting plate and structure, surface condenser, blast shield, and guide for reaction chamber
Final Product Assembly
Assembled all mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical parts
System Validation
Fabricated mounting plate and structure, surface condenser, blast shield, and guide for reaction chamber
