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:

The final temperature has been achieved in 135 seconds.
