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

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.

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
