Laser Extinction Device Laser Vertical Knob Burner Horizontal Knob
Customer Requirements & Project Objectives • Align the Laser to the Burner • Improve Safety • Improve Accuracy • More Ergonomic • Cost Effective • Decrease Experiment Time
Concept Development & Design 1. Design Concepts • Motorized Vertical & Horizontal Travel • Motorized Vertical Travel with Manual Horizontal Travel • Manual Extension on Vertical Travel 2. Alignment Procedure
Alignment Target Alignment Procedure • Normalize the laser to the burner surface • Put the goggles on to view laser beam • Use the LabView program to move the burner until the laser is aligned on the target • Move the burner in the positive vertical direction 76.2 millimeters. • Open COSMOS program provided by Velmex and set the zero position Zero Position
Design Validation Benefits Per Experiment • Fuel Savings $25 - $50 • Oxygen O2 Savings $50 - $75 • Improved Time 45 min – 1hr • Improved Accuracy From ± 0.1 mm *********************************************************** • More Ergonomic • Enhanced Safety • Cost Effective
Summary – Concept #1 • Overall Benefits • Best Overall Concept • Improved Safety • Improved Accuracy • More Ergonomic • Decreased Experiment Time • Added Benefits • Fuel Savings • Cost Effective - Return on Investment ($$$)
Recommendations • Motorize Laser • Closed Loop Feedback System
