What?
Designed and implemented a custom intake ventilation system to address recurring overheating in a production machine
How?
- Analyzed airflow limitations contributing to premature machine failure
- Engineered a fan-based intake system that activates only during machine operation to improve cooling efficiency
- Drilled into the stainless-steel frame and designed a custom mounting solution
- 3D printed a precision-fit bracket to securely mount the fan and ensure long-term stability
- Directed airflow toward internal components most susceptible to thermal stress
Result
- Potential to extend machine lifespan and reduce six-month repair/replacement cycles
- Improved internal airflow and temperature regulation
- System currently operating in production for performance validation
