Background
The hydraulic unit consists of an axial piston pump that drives a double acting pressure intensifier that compresses gas in two stages. It is split in a low-stage compression and a high stage compression both driven by the same hydraulic piston with interstage and after-stage coolers. The hydraulic unit itself consists of two directional control valves that control the stroke of the hydraulic position.
Task description
The goal of the thesis is to create a simulation model, verify the model and create a hardware in the loop. Test equipment is available for verification. The focus areas are:
- Build a system model in Amesim. Verify with real data.
- Optimize the switching of directional control valves.
- Build an interface to create a hardware in the loop between system model and a PLC.
Suitable background
Mechanical Engineer in fluid power, mechatronics or similar.
- A basic understanding of fluid principles, common components, and terminology.
- Control theory knowledges and applications, model building and implementations.
- Experience with simulation software, such as Hopsan, AMESIM, Matlab/Simulink.
Application Information
The thesis will take place at Quintus office in Västerås and is aimed for one or two persons. The selection will be ongoing so therefore apply as soon as possible. Send your CV and grades to recruitment@quintusteam.com
