Novel Electron Beam Surface Sculpting for Efficient Heat Exchange (HEATSCULPTOR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
By combining a new surface engineering process with state-of-the-art thermal modelling, significant design and performance improvements to heat exchangers for electronic and electrical systems can be made. The surface designs created will not only provide an increase in surface area (allowing for smaller size heat exchanger packaging), but also enable ‘designed’ flow over a surface (which will enh ...

Offshore Wind Turbine Towers – A Quicker, Cheaper Flange Supply Route (RingMan)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
There is a tendency to higher power offshore wind turbines, leading to larger turbine towers (5m diameter and greater) and a requirement for large diameter connection flanges between the tower sections and between the tower and foundation transition pieces. Currently, forged rings are specified, with inherently high cost and few suppliers worldwide. This leads to long lead times and higher costs f ...
