Starting meeting 13:30
Discuss 1/16″ mNPT to 1/4″ VCR connections. Current connections are fVCR, and have the female nut attached in the adapter
Discuss Sam’s proposal for summer work. Jake approves, but reminds Sam we will need his help as an electrical expert on other work as the summer progresses as well.
BOM (Bill of Materials) Discussion:
CAD has been simplified to bare minimum components – we’re getting really close. Supports are likely not going to be needed with steel tubing, but we have the ability to add them in, if required. Bayonet line has not been designed / found yet. Jose and Will will continue to develop this. Looking to rate at around 1400-2000 psig. Suggested that we add a second heat exhanger after the first to precool the inlet gas before the vortex tube.
Two week goals:
Will – Manufacture as parts come in, look at connections to other systems. Help Andrew with CAD of purifier, help Jose with test plans for components and systems. Find bayonet/vacuum jacketed transfer line.
Jose – Work with Will to find the vacuum jacketed transfer line. Write test plans and safety / hazard analysis for the system testing with the help of Will.
Sam – Finalize bill of materials / P&ID for the venting and safety systems so that we’re ready to order parts. Have an initial design pitch ready for when we get back for feedback and/or ordering.
Sage – Work to finish the CAD model with updates with the latest changes to the overall system and ensure that everything is propely placed and mated.
Andrew – Work on getting CAD of purifier designs put together. Get an intial concept pitch ready to propose some design paradigms so we can start ordering and building.
