10 Concept Selection

11 Alternatives Considered ●Hold Components: Manifold vs. Inline ●Data Transmission: Wired vs. Wireless ●Test Control: Hybrid (Digital and Manual) vs. Strictly Digital.

12 Manifold vs. Inline Design for Holding Components Manifold ●Pro’s ○ Compact, single unit ○ Less plumbing connections ■ Less opportunities for leakage ●Con’s ○ Large manifold ■ Difficult to manufacture ○ Less flexibility in component placement Inline ● Pro’s ○ Flexible location of components ○ Small components ■ Easy to manufacture ● Con’s ○ More parts and connections

13 Ranking of Manifold vs. Inline

14 Wired vs. Wireless Method for Data Transmission Wired ●Pro’s ○ Simple ○ Reliable ○ Inexpensive ○ Secure ●Con’s ○ Requires Physical Routing ○ Possible Data loss due to Wire Damage Wireless ● Pro’s ○ Easy to add Components ● Con’s ○ Expensive ○ Less Secure ○ Susceptible to Interference

15 Ranking of Wired vs. Wireless

16 Hybrid vs. Strictly Digital Manner of Test Control Hybrid ●Pro’s ○ Fail-Safe ○ Full Automation ○ Allows for Manual Override ●Con’s ○ More Components ○ More Complexity Strictly Digital ● Pro’s ○ More Compact ○ Full Automation ● Con’s ○ No Backup System

17 Ranking of Hybrid vs. Strictly Digital Controller

18 Selected Concept Overview

19 System Controller Overview

20 Risk Analysis

21 Highest Risk

22 Testing Plan ●Pressure Sensor(s) ○ Apply varying pressures to sensor(s) to verify output matches expected values. ○ Calibrate sensor(s) as necessary. ●Structural Integrity of Piping and Hose. ○ Perform calculations to determine approximate pressure for conduit failure. ○ Simulate stress experienced by conduit with finite element model if deemed necessary from calculations.

23 Testing Plan ●System Controller ○ Simulate logic before programming the controller to debug as necessary. ○ Apply stimulus to controller to recreate input from pressure sensor and observe output waveforms to verify functionality. ●Pressure Control System ○ Apply stimuli to pressure controller to simulate input from test controller to verify functionality and response time. ○ Attach to test controller and apply stimuli to controller. ■ This simulates input from pressure sensor and can be used to verify reaction time and functionality of pressure controller.

27 What is a Hydrostatic Test? ● Tests structural integrity of the product ○Product: Electrical enclosures ○Simulates explosion within the electrical enclosure ● — High Pressure Tests : ○Proof Test ■ Hold time at specified pressure ○Destructive Test ■ Test to failure ■ Determines safety factor (UL Standards)

28 Standards ● — UL1203 ○Electrical enclosure: 10 sec hold time without rupture ○Safety factor of 4x internal explosion pressure ● — UL2225 ○Cable sealing: 10 sec hold time w/o rupture ○Safety factor of 4x internal explosion pressure ○Pressure: 100-600psi/min ●CSA22.2 no.30

29 Current Hydrostatic Test Apparatus ● — Fully functional ● — Manually controlled by technicians ● — Analog pressure and time measurements ● — Isolated Test Environment ● — Follows standards: ○UL1203 ○ — UL2225 ○ — CSA22.2 no.30

30 Project Deliverables ● — Hardware ○ — Complete onsite test apparatus ● — Documentation ○Maintenance Recommendations ○ — Model for fatigue predictions ○ — User guide for operation ○ — Engineering Drawings

31 Stakeholders ● — Cooper-Crouse Hinds ○Joe Manahan ○ — Lab Technicians ○ — Secondary Customers ● RIT ○MSD Group ○ — Ben Varela ○ — Mike Zona
