Oxygen sensing/control<br />

Any device operating at elevated temperatures has a strong demand for measuring partial Oxygen pressures as the content of<br />

this radical deteriorates every material in long term, and oxygen outgassing from compounds needs to be immediately<br />

detected to prevent facility damage. Within this activity a development of a sensor technique to measure oxygen partial<br />

pressure in the Electro-Magnetic Levitator processing atmosphere via electrolytic cells with high vacuum compatibility is<br />

proposed. Based on this sensor a control can be set-up that will be completed within this activity in terms of feasibility, too. In<br />

addition the activity will also focus on methods to re<strong>du</strong>ce resi<strong>du</strong>al oxygen concentrations.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Tested sensor breadboard, oxygen re<strong>du</strong>ction and control loop breadboard<br />

Title:<br />

Enhanced Mini Lda<br />

This activity aims at enhancing the features of a 1D-Mini-LDA System currently under development under ESTEC Contract<br />

No. 16554/02/NL/CP.The optical components of the 1D-Optical Measurement Head are already prepared for an upgrade to a<br />

2D-Optical Measurement Head. In addition to the upgrade of the measurement head the expected FSL/EC breadboard is<br />

planned to be used together with the head after having been extended on h/w and s/w level to allow for real simultaneous<br />

measurements of two velocity components and their directions. After design, manufacture, integration and calibration, the<br />

2D-Mini-LDA System shall be applied to representative experiments to verify its scientific measurement performance.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

One 2D Optical Measurement Head, representative for the FSL micro-gravity experiments, integrated into an<br />

updated/calibrated BB system for scientific measurement performance verification. Final Reoprt (+ measurements<br />

experimental verification).<br />
