Omega Dot is an engineering consultancy specialising in turbomachinery specific to air foil bearings (AFB). An application of our technology is within the hydrogen fuel cell system for electric vehicles (EVs). Turbomachinery can be used within the fuel cell system to boost efficiency, offer an oil-free operation that runs near frictionless and has low noise levels. The results from this project, partnering NPL with Omega Dot, will help to eliminate minor wear on the air foil bearings and thus improve on the performance and reliability of the bearing itself. The result of the project will identify strengths and weaknesses within the current AFB configurations and how they can be improved for production.The outcomes from this project will push Omega Dot into commercialisation of their AFBs and allow Omega Dot to invest in their production and manufacturing capabilities. This will help to secure larger client orders which will give us sustained economic growth and boost the hydrogen fuel cell system supply chain.The results from this project, partnering NPL with Omega Dot, will help to eliminate minor wear on the air foil bearings and thus improve on the performance and reliability of the bearing itself.

Omega Dot是一家工程咨询公司，专门从事空气箔片轴承（AFB）的制造。我们的技术应用于电动汽车（EV）的氢燃料电池系统。涡轮机可用于燃料电池系统中，以提高效率，提供无油运行，接近无摩擦，噪音水平低。NPL与Omega Dot合作的该项目的结果将有助于消除空气箔片轴承的轻微磨损，从而提高轴承本身的性能和可靠性。该项目的结果将确定当前AFB配置的优点和缺点，以及如何对其进行改进以用于生产。该项目的结果将推动Omega Dot进入AFB的商业化，并使Omega Dot能够投资于其生产和制造能力。这将有助于确保更大的客户订单，这将给我们带来持续的经济增长，并促进氢燃料电池系统供应链。该项目的结果，NPL与Omega Dot的合作，将有助于消除翼型轴承的轻微磨损，从而提高轴承本身的性能和可靠性。
