Electro-Magnetic Flux Imaging Scanner (EMFIS)

开发和测试用于航空航天应用的高可靠性和高效率电机正在成为引入全电动飞机的关键依赖项。该项目将开发电机磁通密度特性的实时成像，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。重点研究磁通测量控制、磁通传感器扫描速率和先进的后处理技术。该项目的主要产品将是一个可销售的电磁通量扫描仪（EMFIS），由于使用了创新的石墨烯传感器，该扫描仪在宽场范围（pT-T）内提供独特的线性响应。能够查询电机和其他电磁（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实际优势。目前还没有2D或3D的解决方案来绘制由通电的定子或电枢产生的磁场。直接对现场配置进行成像将使扫描仪具有固有的市场价值，并推动航空航天领域向更轻、更可靠、更高效的电机发展。EMFIS的开发将带来多方面的好处，首次可视化EM设备的磁通特性（目前只能通过FEA模拟实现）将提供前所未有的磁饱和洞察，通过增强设计大大提高电机效率和功率密度，并允许开发无与伦比的逆向工程和故障查找服务。该技术还将通过使用嵌入式传感器实现实时健康监测服务，因为石墨烯的坚固性和小设备占地传感器可以集成到航空航天电机中，为现有电机产品增加巨大价值。

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.
