Design Refinement and Field Testing for a Remote-Monitoring system for Backflow Preventer Valves

卡莫森学院很高兴地宣布，卡莫森创新公司将与高贵兰的管道设备供应商concur West公司合作开展一个应用研究项目。concur West，在加拿大西部提供管道和管道配件设备和用品，包括防止污染水流入市政供水系统的防回流器。在美国自然科学与工程研究委员会（NSERC） 2级应用研究与开发拨款的支持下，concur West将能够提供一种能够检测防回流器故障或篡改的产品，从而提高市政供水的安全性。已经完成了概念设计的验证。该项目将侧重于设计改进、高级测试和制造准备。防回流阀用于整个供水系统，以防止污染。这种远程监控系统将提高水的安全性，并使问题的发现变得容易和快速。该项目将涉及卡莫森学院的学生，他们将在开发创新技术的同时获得宝贵的现实生活技能和专业知识。

Camosun College is pleased to announce that Camosun Innovates will be partnering on an applied researchproject with Con-cur West Inc., a Coquitlam-based plumbing equipment supplier. Con-cur West, providesplumbing and pipefitting equipment and supplies in western Canada, including backflow preventers whichprevent contaminated water from flowing into municipal water supplies. With support from the NaturalSciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) on a level 2 Applied Research and Development grant,Con-cur West will be able to provide a product that can detect failure or tampering with backflow preventers,improving the security of municipal water supplies.Having already completed a proof of concept design. This project will focus on design refinements, advancedtesting, and preparation for manufacturing. Backflow preventers are used throughout the water supply systemto prevent contamination. This remotely monitored system will improve water security and make problemdetection easy and fast. The project will involve students from Camosun College who will gain valuable reallife skills and expertise while working on the development of new innovative technology.
