P14417: B9 Plastics - Particle FilterDetailed Design Review Dan Anderson / Thomas Heberle / Perry Hosmer / Karina Roundtree / Kelly Stover December 10, 2013
Agenda • Problem Definition (5 minutes) • Updated Design and Bill of Materials Justification (15 minutes) • Assembly Procedure (5 minutes) • Technical Analysis of Design (20 minutes) • Test Plans (20 minutes) • Project Management (10 minutes)
Problem Statement Current State: • In order to use the Better Water Maker (BWM) users must first pour the water through a cloth before being treated. Desired State: • The device should clear particles from water to allow the BWM to operate more effectively. • The device should be simple to use and operable by both women and children. Project Goals: • Analyze the design selected by P13418 • Decrease Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids • Improve the effectiveness of the Better Water Maker Notable Constraints: • Must be usable by both women and children • Only locally available materials may be consumed • Must not negatively impact the smell and taste of water
Project Scope & Deliverables • Project Scope • Eliminate particles greater than 5 microns in size • Produce a design that is economically viable for use in developing countries • Design the device to be reusable, and use only consumable parts that are locally available • Deliverables to date • Functional prototype • Bill of Materials • Design Drawings • Assembly and manufacturing plan • Test plan and results
Updated Drawing – Exploded BOM 1 3 2 4
Bottomless Bucket • Bucket in BOM chosen was inexpensive • Most buckets would work
Lid • Matches bucket bottom, reusable • Inexpensive
5 Micron Mesh • Stainless steel- limits corrosion • Material often used in filters
Bucket • Inexpensive • 5 gallon deemed a good size • Same as bottomless bucket
Spacer and Rods • Used to seal in mesh in assembly and to provide space between mesh and lid
Mesh Corrosion • Stainless steel is in a family of alloy steels containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium. All stainless steels have a higher resistance to corrosion than their mild steel counterparts. • This resistance to attack is due to the naturally occurring chromium-rich oxide film formed on the surface of the steel. • The film is rapidly self-repairing in the presence of oxygen. Damage by abrasion, cutting or machining is quickly repaired.
Stress Analysis • Establish • Contact Regions • Pressure and Structural Support • Mesh • Establish and then Refine • Von Mises • Displacement
Time to Clean • Pilot study: select 30 participants, provide cleaning instructions, time the process • Hypothesis test (95% confidence) on the average time to clean product • H0: µ >= 5 minutes • HA: µ < 5 minutes • Adjustments in sample size (i.e. additional observations) may be necessary depending on the variance in the observed results • If the cleaning time is over the target value of 5 minutes, test for marginal success of 10 minutes
Number of Tools Required for Cleaning • Count of tools required • Nylon sponge or brush is best material to clean stainless steel mesh
Start-up Time • Pilot study: collect 30 observations of start up time • Hypothesis test (95% confidence) on the average start up time • H0: µ >= 10 seconds • HA: µ < 10 seconds • Adjustments in sample size (i.e. additional observations) may be necessary depending on the variance in the observed results • If the cleaning time is over the target value of 10 seconds, test for marginal success of 30 seconds
Labor Cost Estimations • Machining Bucket • Cut out bottom of bucket: ~5 minutes • Drilling holes (with template): ~ 5 minutes • Cutting Mesh: ~ 1 minute • Hot air welding: ~ 5 minutes • Total time: 16 minutes • Assuming a $15 / hr wage, total cost is $4
Operating Costs • All components will last longer than the required 2 years. • Operating costs will be $0/year
