  1. Ryan Christie Nathan Duray Cory Donavon Joseph Mudd Jason Dikes Ronald Stepanek Supreme Manufacturing Combined Heat and Power System

  2. Problem Statement Supreme Manufacturing is dissatisfied with the cost, reliability, and overall efficiency of their current power supply. Ryan Christie

  3. Mid-Point Review • Baseline measurements • Heat Recovery System • Heat Exchanger • Oven-blower interface • Blower attachment • Valve system • Control System • Thermal Sensor Network • Servos • Program • Timeline Ryan Christie

  4. Generator Efficiency • Scale measures change in weight • weight to power output in Watts • Generator produces power • Efficiency obtained when compared Cory Donavon

  5. Baseline measurements • Measured Before Alterations • .31 gal/hour • Exhaust at 405 C Joseph Mudd

  6. Heat recovery system

  7. Heat Exchanger Design Head Adaptor Main Duct • Design Iteration • Given Parameters → Output Length Nathan Duray

  8. Manufactured Heat Exchanger Nathan Duray

  9. Manufactured Heat Exchanger Nathan Duray

  10. Blower attachment Joseph Mudd

  11. Heat recovery Valves • The purpose for the valves • Stop air circulation • Controlled by servos Jason Dikes

  12. Heat recovery Valves Jason Dikes

  13. Oven- blower interface • Connect blower to oven • Minimize air escaping from side of blower Cory Donavon

  14. Corrugated tubing • Associated attachments utilized • Minimize gap within blower Cory Donavon

  15. Control System

  16. Thermal Sensor Network Ryan Christie

  17. Thermocouple wire is calibrated with DAQ and implemented into control system (Arduino) • Implementation specifics developed • Network has been designed… Ryan Christie

  18. Ryan Christie

  19. Arduino Input • 8 TC Channels • Ocean Controls: KTA – 259 • All necessary Measurements • Communicates with Arduino Ronald Stepanek

  20. Arduino Output • Data For Analysis on PC • Utilizes 3rd Party – Gobetwino • Data Logged PC Free on SD card • Saves For Analysis Later • Utilizes integrated Library • Control Servos and Valves Ronald Stepanek

  21. Arduino Logic Read Temperatures from KTA - 259 Is generator temp safe? Shut down Generator NO YES Open HRS valves and activate blower YES Is oven temp < 104 C NO Record Data Ronald Stepanek
