Equipment inspections prior to shipment

Responsibilities:Mechanical and electrical design for rail air brake compressor systems for mass transit systems including; specification review, solid modeling, documentation, field prototype assembly and testing, qualification testing and marketing support.

Responsibilities:Development of new displacement scroll element compressors for alternate refrigerants.Provide technical leadership for compressor development and improvement projects including performance and reliability testing.Plan and implement cost reduction programs for high volume scroll element compressors.Developed production ready version of modulated scroll element compressor.Directed the coding and compilation of scroll compressor force calculations into a user-friendly software package with user and theoretical manual. Wrote software and implemented a computer-based system to measure oil film thickness in journal bearings operating in both a reciprocating and scroll element a hermetic compressor.Created technique to measure impact of free-floating suction reeds on constraining pin.Developed system to measure instantaneous motor torque in a running hermetic compressor. Investigated influence of entrained oil on several different classes of gas flow meters.Explored influence of liquid refrigerant on compressor operation and found a method to estimate the amount using gamma ray densiometer.Developed and implemented instrumentation to measure orbit and unloading of a scroll element compressor.Created procedure to analyze data from field test sites displaying compressor operating map.

Responsibilities:Develop test methods and equipment for fiberglass products.Highlights:Wrote software and implemented computer-based system to measure glass fiber diameter. The system saved about 7 hours per measurement series.Developed quick tack test procedure for a two part adhesive system, which allowed evaluation of material prior to processing.Created a process to apply facing during curing cycle on uncured fiberglass material.Calibrated, in place, two temperature sensors embedded in a 4-foot square guarded hot plate.Designed and built high-temperature thermal conductivity tester for calcium silicate block insulation.Maintained formulated thermal process curves to ensure thermal performance of insulation products.Repaired, calibrated and assisted in the maintenance of quality control equipment in production facilities.Assembled calibration lab to maintain traceability to NBS for product laboratory and plant quality control laboratories.
