Project Results

Overview

 

Experimentations Results


Project modules

 

MC96

A thermal experimentation has been the only experimentation done on the MC96 module.

 

Thermal experimentations results

Has no prototype has been built yet, the only results available are the ones from simulations.

Simulation Results

Some simulation has been done on earlier designs, but none of the final design, due to the complexity of simulating heat pipes. Thus, these results are not finals and will surely improve with the addition of the heat pipes between the Peltier elements and the 96-well aluminium mold.

The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a heating speed test:

MC96 Heating speed test image

The final temperature has been achieved in 70 seconds.

The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a cooling speed test:

MC96 Cooling speed test image

The final temperature has been achieved in 135 seconds.

MC1.5

Thermal and magnetisation experimentations have been conduct to validate the design of the MC1.5 module. These are the results of those experimentations.

 

Thermal experimentation results

Simulation Results

These are the simulation results for the latest design of the MC1.5.

The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a heating speed test:

MC1.5Heating speed test image

The final temperature has been achieved in 70 seconds.

The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a cooling speed test:

The final temperature has been achieved in 135 seconds.

Back to MC1.5  

Thermal Trials Results

 
Maintaining a temperature below room temperature test results

These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This table illustrates the relation between the voltages applied to the Peltier element and the set temperature of the aluminium mold.

MC1.5 Table Calibration cold

Conclusion
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s low temperature specification of 4℃
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s temperature stability specification of ±1.5℃

Maintaining a temperature below room temperature test results

These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This table illustrates the relation between the voltages applied to the Peltier element and the set temperature of the aluminium mold.

MC1.5 Table Calibration HOT

Conclusion
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s high temperature specification of 80℃
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s temperature stability specification of ±1.5℃
Back to Thermal Trials Results  
Cooling speed test results

These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 15V.

MC1.5 cooling speed test 15V

This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 15.5V.

MC1.5 cooling speed test 15.5V

This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 16V.

MC1.5 cooling speed test 16V

Conclusion
  • 15.5V is the optimal voltage to apply to obtain the highest cooling speed
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s specification of a cooling speed of 0.5℃/s

Heating speed test results

These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 24V.

MC1.5 heating speed test 24V

Conclusion
  • The MC1.5 can reach the client’s specification of a heating speed of 1℃/s
