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

Camosun学院很高兴地宣布，Camosun创新将与Con-cur West Inc.合作开展一个应用研究项目，一家总部位于Coquitram的管道设备供应商。在加拿大西部提供管道和管件设备和用品，包括防止污染水流入市政供水系统的防回流阀。在美国自然科学与工程研究理事会（NSERC）的二级应用研究与开发资助下，<$cur West将能够提供一种能够检测防回流阀故障或篡改的产品，从而提高市政供水的安全性。该项目将侧重于设计改进，先进的测试和制造准备。回流防止器用于整个供水系统，以防止污染。这种远程监控系统将提高水安全，并使问题检测变得简单快捷。该项目将涉及来自Camosun学院的学生，他们将获得宝贵的现实生活技能和专业知识，同时致力于开发新的创新技术。

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.
