Electro-Magnetic Flux Imaging Scanner (EMFIS)

航空航天用高可靠性和高效率电机的开发和测试正在成为More/All Electric飞机推出的关键依赖。该项目将开发电机磁密特性的实时成像，以满足行业对可修改为任意定子/电枢直径的扫描仪的需求。研究的重点将是流量测量控制、流量传感器的扫描速度和先进的后处理技术。主要项目的输出将是一种市场上可销售的电磁磁通扫描仪(EMFIS)，由于使用了创新的石墨烯传感器，该扫描仪在提供宽场范围(PT-T)线性响应方面是独一无二的。能够询问电机和其他电磁(EM)设备的2D/3D场特性将在整个设计、制造和鉴定过程中提供显著的有形好处。目前还没有解决方案来绘制2D或3D中由通电的定子或电枢所产生的磁场。直接对磁场配置成像将导致固有的市场扫描仪，并推动航空航天部门朝着更轻、更可靠和更高效率的发动机发展。EMFIS的开发将产生多种好处，首次可视化EM设备的磁通特性(目前只能通过FEA模拟)将提供对磁饱和的前所未有的洞察，通过改进设计促进电机效率和功率密度的显著提高，并允许开发无与伦比的逆向工程和故障查找服务。由于石墨烯的坚固特性和小设备占地面积传感器可以集成到航空航天发动机中，该技术还将通过使用嵌入式传感器来实现实时健康监测服务，为现有的电机产品增加显著的价值。

Development and testing of high-reliability and high-efficiency motors for aerospace applications is becoming a key dependency for the introduction of the More/All Electric Aircraft.The project will develop real-time imaging of motor flux density characteristics, addressing an industry requirement for a scanner that can be modified to arbitrary stator/armature diameters. Research will focus on flux measurement control, scan rate of flux sensors and advanced post-processing techniques. The principal project output will be a marketable electro-magnetic flux scanner (EMFIS) which is unique in offering a linear response across a broad field range (pT-T) due to the use of an innovative graphene sensor.An ability to interrogate the 2D/3D field characteristics of electric motors and other electromagnetic (EM) devices would offer significant tangible benefits throughout the design, manufacturing and qualifying process. There are currently no solutions for mapping the magnetic field produced by an energised stator or armature in 2D or 3D. Imaging the field configuration directly would lead to an inherently marketable scanner and push the aerospace sector towards lighter, more reliable and higher efficiency motors.EMFIS development would generate manifold benefits, visualisation of the flux characteristics of an EM device for the first time (currently only possible with FEA simulations) would offer unprecedented insight into magnetic saturation, facilitating substantially improved motor efficiencies and power densities through enhanced design and allowing un-rivalled reverse-engineering and fault-finding services to be developed.The technology would also lead to real-time health monitoring services through the use of embedded sensors, due to the robust nature of graphene and the small device footprint sensors could be integrated into aerospace motors, adding significant value to existing motor products.
