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

Camosun学院高兴地宣布，Camosun Innovates将与Coquilam的管道设备供应商Con-cur West Inc.合作开展一个应用研究项目。Con-cur West，在加拿大西部提供管道和管件设备和用品，包括防止受污染的水流入市政供水的防回流阀。在自然科学和工程研究理事会(NSERC)2级应用研究和开发拨款的支持下，Con-cur West将能够提供一种能够检测故障或篡改防回流阀的产品，从而提高市政供水的安全性。已经完成了概念设计验证。该项目将重点放在设计改进、高级测试和制造准备上。整个供水系统都使用防回流阀，以防止污染。这一远程监控系统将改善水安全，并使问题的检测变得容易和快速。该项目将有来自卡莫森学院的学生参与，他们将在开发新的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.
