University of Bristol Core Equipment Award 2022

布里斯托大学选择支持设备投资，支持工程和科学学院EPSRC的可持续性和研究。它将影响数十个研究项目和数百名研究人员，解决大学研究项目的关键战略优先事项。投资如下：金属增材制造能力，使研究人员能够在一系列不同的应用进行更可持续的研究，从根本上减少制造的人工制品的质量，大幅减少产品“使用阶段”的碳排放，以及减少原材料的使用-所有这些都在研究领域，解决更广泛的可持续性优先事项，如低碳能源和运输。氦捕获和压缩系统，包括布里斯托大学集中式NMR设施的11个超导NMR（核磁共振）磁体的蒸发捕获。这将使布里斯托数百名研究人员使用的这种关键的不可再生资源能够可持续地回收和再循环，同时节省大量的财务成本（未来十年将节省数十万英镑），其中大部分将由EPSRC承担。

The University of Bristol has chosen to support investments in equipment which supports sustainability and research across EPSRC's remit in the Engineering and Science Faculties. It will impact dozens of research programs and hundreds of researchers, addressing key strategic priorities in University research programs. Investments are as follows:Metal Additive Manufacturing Capability enabling researchers across a range of different applications to conduct substantially more sustainable research by radically reducing the mass of manufactured artefacts, drastically cutting carbon emissions during the "use phase" of products as well as reduced use of raw materials - all in research areas that address broader sustainability priorities such as low carbon energy and transport.Helium capture and compression system, comprising boil-off capture for 11 superconducting NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) magnets in the University of Bristol centralised NMR Facility. This will enable sustainable recovery and recycling of this critical non-renewable resource that is used by hundreds of researchers in Bristol, while providing substantial financial cost-savings (several hundred thousand pounds over the next decade), the majority of which will fall to EPSRC.
