“We have designed or selected most of the essential components at a preliminary level, and are looking forward to seeing how the project progresses. The metal chambers and all flanges are designed by our team and will be fabricated by the University of Arizona’s Welding and Fabrication Facility. Major components such as the valves, blower, heat exchanger and vacuum pump will be commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components that meet the required specifications.” —Griffin Hentzen, ME
The remaining contents of this post are now contained in the scrubber Overview page.
This post is being re-written to discuss the design parameters that guided Griffin’s effort, including materials, bed temperatures, volume of desiccant (silica) and sorbent (zeolite), rate of gas exchange, sensors and control systems, both manual and automated.
Stay tuned!
