Leakage Test Stand ImprovementMarie Rohrbaugh Mission Statement: Reduce the effect of fixture leakage on leakage data
Background Situation: • External Leakage Testing • Important Test • Should be very near zero Goal: • Reduce the effect of fixture leakage on test data
Highly Concentrated Area • Vent Between O-rings to eliminate pressure build-up • Pulse Purge
Large Surface Area • Large o-ring seals • 2 holes 180 degrees apart • Pressurize one side with Nitrogen Nitrogen In Vacuum Chamber
Constraints • Use of Nitrogen Gas • 1 psi Vacuum • 24V signal power supply • Class10,000 Clean Room • SAFE USERS
Necessary Tasks • Change Plug Design (Interface with the can) • Pneumatics Design/Layout • FMEA • Software Controls • Moog will provide Manufacturing • Testing • Maintenance and Training Plans
Benchmarks Vented
Brainstorming • Pulse with Nitrogen to both • Large O-rings release to ambient on opposite side • Vent hole toggles between Nitrogen and Vacuum
Brainstorming • Always a Constant flow of Nitrogen to Large Orings • Vent hole Toggles between Vacuum and Nitrogen
Brainstorming • Constant Flow to large O-ring • Vent hole Toggles between pressurized Nitrogen and Ambient
Brainstorming • Constant flow of Nitrogen to Large O-rings • Vent Hole has a constant Vacuum
Feedback • Improve Block Diagram to include a detailed interface with the AGT and the two systems • Team Must Understand functionality • Constraints vs. Functions • If team believes another way is better, “ OK” • Timeline • IP considerations: We will work it all out over summer • Drawings • Test Specifications
