Centrifuge Health Monitoring of the 50gTon beam centrifuge at the University of Sheffield

چکیده
In order to fully understand scientific test data it is crucial that we first understand the background centrifuge operational environment and its variation with time and centrifugal acceleration. For example, changes in ambient air temperature or relative humidity in the centrifuge chamber during operation can have a significant impact on the evaporation levels of water from the surface of a clay model. It is vital to understand these temporal changes in order to mitigate drying out of the soil surface as this would have a detrimental impact on model performance. This paper details the development of a centrifuge health monitoring system capable of measuring environmental parameters over natural seasonal variations of the laboratory environment but also during test conditions. The results of a series of preliminary tests of different duration, acceleration and configuration are discussed to demonstrate the significant changes that occur in the scientific environment during operation.

متن کاملA multi-step centrifuge method for extraction of leucocytes and preparation of Tc-HMPAO labeled leucocytes
Background: Labeled leucocytes could be used for localization of infection foci after surgeries or in inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases. Extraction of leucocytes needs 10% Hetastarch which is not available in Iran. We provide a method employing multiple centrifuges to extract and label leucocytes with Tc-HMPAO. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2018 ...
