Due to the unique design for this ISOBAR® Heat Pipe, the performance of this ISOBAR® would have to meet specific testing requirements and achieve consistency and reliability in the manufacturing process in order to prove viability. This custom Isobar® heat pipe design had to meet certain specific geometric constraints, performance criteria and quality standards, including [...]
Acrolab was approached by a client to develop a fast heating & fast cooling composite mold for out-of-autoclave composite curing. The technological objective of this study was to develop a vapour chamber mold structure of complex shape used in aerospace and automotive composite part production to apply heat energy to the curing of the composite [...]
This project was a collaborative effort among Acrolab and McMaster University to develop a pizza oven waste energy recovery (POWER) system that would capture waste heat (thermal energy) and convert it to electricity for restaurants or for sale to energy companies. The device was developed for electric or natural gas pizza ovens but it could [...]
By developing this cooling system, the engineering team at Acrolab noticed two major obstacles in this project. The first technological obstacle was the complete design of the entire cooling system. Acrolab has limited experience with conventional cooling system designs for this type of application. Other important details that made the project more challenging were that [...]
Heaters are one of the primary products that we sell to our clients; we design different types of heaters such as band heaters, cartridge heaters, tubular heaters, immersion heaters and other types depending on the needs of our customers. Acrolab was asked to develop a multi-zone split heater (3 zones) and capable of operating at [...]
