Resonant Electric Induction Instant Water Heater

The prototype manages to heat water without having direct electrical contact with the power source, thus guaranteeing safe isolation for users. The efficiency of the system is achieved thanks to the simulation and calibration of electrical parameters that allow to obtain an operation in electic resonance, thus canceling the reactance and only allowing the real component of the impedance (conventional resistance).

Rotary mechanical water heater

The device allows the water to be heated by means of parasitic currents induced by a variable magnetic field produced by the mechanical rotation of stackable discs. This model is modular and allows you to add as many disks as necessary.

This model also generates a fluid flow, thus acting like a centrifugal pump.

Residual heat recovery for photovoltaic panels

The project sought to increase the energy efficiency of photovoltaic panels through the residual reuse of thermal energy. A cooling fluid circulates in said panel and through a thermodynamic process the superheated steam pushes a micro-turbine that converts the enthalpy into electrical energy.

In addition to the creation, design and simulation, a complete analysis of costs and production processes was carried out.

The design complies with the ASME API standard.

Modeling and simulation of a Single Sheet Testing (SST) in COMSOL

The project required a validation of a prototype model using finite element analysis. Our team managed to verify the correct operation in addition to modeling a parametric geometry for further optimization.

Complying with the specifications of BRITISH STANDARD (BS 6404-3: 1992IEC 404-3: 1992)

Three-phase linear induction motor (LIM)

The objective of this project was to create, model and simulate in Comsol a linear motor (LIM) driven by a frequency converter with voltage control applied to the motor. A final speed of 100 m / s is established as a goal, so the maximum frequency and the voltage applied to frequencies higher than the nominal one must be recalculated (originally we created the motor for 40 m / s).

The power delivered by the motor varies from 50 to 30 KW at the point of maximum efficiency between 40 and 100 m / s, with maximum powers reaching 80 KW.
