Task
Compressors in refrigeration systems require oil for lubrication. However, some of this oil is carried out of the compressor along with the refrigerant during compression and is then returned via the refrigeration circuit or an oil separator. A sufficient amount of oil is necessary for the compressor to operate safely. To monitor this, compressors often have a sight glass where the oil level can be read. As part of this student project, photos of the sight glass are to be taken automatically and the oil level evaluated.
Qualifications
Programming skills (preferably Python) and an interest in image analysis and machine learning
Notes
The main division of refrigeration and heat pump technology at ILK Dresden focuses on cold vapor processes. To this end, individual components (compressors, heat exchangers, valves) are measured and further developed. In addition, processes and system configurations are also investigated. The results are intended to help cooperating industrial companies improve their products. These projects can be supported as part of student work. The topics presented below only provide a rough outline of the tasks. Depending on the type of student work (internship, coursework, thesis, etc.), the assignment will be individually tailored and adapted.
