Date: 10.20.17
Students: Entire DE class 3rd hour
Mike Wettstein came in to talk to the DE class on the Desalination Machine and shared ideas and concerns as well as solutions to our sensor problems.
Concerns/Questions:
1. Do we need a trap? Will this prevent air from circulating?
2. If air does not circulate it will "deadhead" creating a pressure difference.
3. Can we bring both tanks to atmospheric pressure with pressure relief valves or pressure switches.
4. Can we use ultrasonic water level sensor or just a vertical float switch?
5. To measure the air flow, can we use a differential pressure switch?
6. What protective devices do we need? Pressure/heat/stored energy. If something fails we don't want it to blow up or melt down.
7. Should we try PLC controllers?
