P08456-Project Description End Users: Underwater ROVs and RIT’s robotic platforms (RP-1, 10, 100) Waterproof light for underwater exploration Top Level Requirements (eng. Specs): Waterproof design (min. 400 ft depth) High light output (min 250 lm @ 5 Watts) Low power consumption (max. 10 Watts) Controllable from remote surface unit Modular housing design must be able to house thruster’s motor unit as well
3
P08456-Light Unit Concept Watertight bulkhead electrical connector Corrosion resistant aluminum housing Two LED colors available Light unit controllable from surface Two mounting systems available
4
P08456-Thruster Housing Concept Utilizes the same rear portion as LED light unit, bulkhead connector, and PCB assembly
5
P08456-Mounting System Concept Two mounting systems to meet specific requirements for each housing application Light = Adjustability Thruster = Rigidity
6
P08456-Functional Flowchart Convert battery power into required voltage Provide LEDs w/ correct amt. of power Light Heat Temp. Data Process Input Send PWM to LED driver Battery Power User Input Receive data from Temp. sensor
7
P08456-Summary of Design Review Continue to meet with customer to fine tune housing design Breadboard of electrical components is next step for verification
8
P08456-High Risk Areas Risk: Pressure & Sealing Requirements Operation pressure: 216 psi (500 ft) All leak-points need to be verified and secured Mitigation: FEA analysis of housing design Pressure chamber testing of prototype at Hydroacoustics Inc. Risk: Heat Dissipation LED board produces up to 10 watts of heat Can cause premature failure for LEDs and damage other electronics Mitigation: Thermal resistance analysis of LED board Separate LEDs from other electrical components LED board will have extra thick copper traces to evacuate heat
