A highly efficient intelligent industrial microwave heating system based on high power solid state technology (CLEAN-HEAT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2017,

Magnetrons are the most widely used microwave technology today for both industrial and domestic microwaves. But these systems can only achieve efficiencies of around 45 to 50%, pose safety risks as the use high voltages (5kV) and the magnetrons have a short lifespan requiring frequent replacement. Magnetron technology does not allow for the automatic adjustment of power level to match the load var ...

High-frequency ELectro-Magnetic technologies for advanced processing of ceramic matrix composites and graphite expansion (HELM)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

...e processing time, converge towards near-net shape fabrication, trim energy spent and abate production costs.HELM will address these challenges by proposing innovative high-frequency electromagnetic, microwaves (MW) and radiofrequencies (RF), heating technologies for integrating and, in the long term, replacing standard thermal processing routes, i.e.: Chemical Vapour Infiltration (CVI), Liquid Si ...

"Elimination of NOx, SOx and Particulates in Rail Transportation" (ENSPIRIT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"Locomotive engines are significant contributors to air pollution in many cities and ports. Although locomotive engines being produced today must meet relatively modest emission requirements set in 1997, they continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter (PM).The 2008 Clean Air Non-road Diesel Rule stipulates new requirements for non-road diesel fuel that will decrease t ...

HIRF Synthetic Environment (HIRF SE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The HIRF SE research project has the goal of providing the aeronautics industry with a framework which can be used during the development phase to mitigate the EM aspects. In addition it will provide a considerable reduction in the certification/qualification tests required on air vehicle. The HIRF SE main objectives can be summarized by the two followings items: • Full validated and integrated s ...

Microwave Drying for the Rapid Remediation of Flooded Buildings (MICRODRY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

Our idea is to develop microwave technology which will reduce drying times in buildings after flooding events. A single Microdry unit will run off mains electricity be capable of drying a room in just 10% of the time taken by current technologies. We will develop an intelligent control system that will measure the reflected microwaves to determine residual moisture content and adjust the power out ...
