Measurement and Analysis of Compressor Material and Functionality

该项目将利用CFD和有限元建模来确定新型热泵系统中关键部件的最有效材料组合和设计，以提高性能效率、降低成本和改善整体性能。已经开发出一种新的热泵系统，它有可能以比目前市场上的产品更低的成本提高效率和性能，从而颠覆该部门目前提供的技术产品。该项目的总体目标是改进该系统中关键部件的性能，以最大限度地降低部件成本，提高效率，并降低系统的运行噪声。最初，将通过对系统内的一个关键部件进行CAD/CFD建模来实现这一点，以便确定适当的建筑材料和潜在的设计改进，以实现关键的项目目标。这项建模工作将用于开发原型组件，这些组件将与现有产品结合在一起，并接受基于实验室的原型系统测试和评估，以确定新设计和材料的有效性。

The project will utilise CFD and FE modelling to determine the most effective combination of materials and design for key components within a novel heat-pump system to improve the performance efficiency, reduce costs and improve overall performance. A novel heat-pump system has been developed that has potential to disrupt the current technological product offerings in this sector with improved efficiencies and performance at lower cost than products currently on the market. The overall aim of this project is to refine the performance of key components within this system in order to minimise the component costs, improve efficiency and reduce the running noise of the system. Initially this will be achieved by undertaking CAD / CFD modelling of a key component within the system in order to identify suitable materials of construction and potential design improvements to address the key project objectives. This modelling work will utilised to develop prototype components that will be incorporated with the existing product and subject to lab based testing and evaluation of prototype systems to determine the effectiveness of new designs and materials.
