A dual coil induction heating machine for jewelry factories developed by electromagnetic analysis

Abstract

Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software. The research process began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B). Subsequently, dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared. The experimental results revealed that the series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d) for better manufacturing performance. The findings indicate that the series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional single-coil model. Furthermore, EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in designing industrial machinery for the jewelry manufacturing sector.

Garbage sorting Systems

The presented project topic is Garbage Sorting Systems. The purpose is to study the operation and develop a waste sorting system that can automatically detect the type of waste using a proximity sensor to separate the types of metal and non-metal waste, as well as an ultrasonic sensor to check the amount of waste in the bin. If the amount of waste exceeds the specified amount, the system will send a notification to the communication device connected to the system, such as a smartphone or computer. The operation of the system is designed to increase the efficiency of waste management, reduce the burden of manual waste sorting, and promote recycling. This system can be applied in various places, such as educational institutions or public places, to help reduce the amount of waste that is not properly separated and increase the opportunity to reuse waste.

Effect of freshness preservation methods of Threadfin breams (Nemipterus furcosus) from small scale fisheries on quality for sashimi.

Threadfin breams is an economically important fish that can be found in fisheries in both the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea and is cheap. In addition, the consumption of raw fish as sashimi is increasingly popular in Thailand. Therefore, it is necessary to promote its consumption to increase its value. This study investigated the preservation of threadfin breams (N. furcosus) for raw or sashimi consumption. The preservation of threadfin breams consisted of Ikejime (K) and cold seawater (S) methods, and the preservation of the fish by Gutting (G) and whole (W) and storing for 3 days on ice (I) or in a refrigerator (F). The freshness quality of threadfin breams was evaluated by sensory, physicochemical (TVB-N, TMA-N and pH), freshness index (Ki-value) and microbiological methods. It was found that after being stored for 3 days, the KGF group of threadfin breams had the highest overall sensory score, which was 8.36±0.80 points, and the KWI, SWI and SWF groups of threadfin breams had the lowest overall sensory scores, which were 8.13±0.77, 8.13±0.77 and 8.13±0.81 points, respectively. And the overall sensory scores of all experimental groups of fish increased significantly (p<0.05). The TVB-N value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest TVB-N value, which was 1.37±0.93 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The threadfin breams in SGI group had the highest TVB-N value, which was 2.36±1.15 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The TVB-N of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). The TMA-N value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest TMA-N value, which was 1.56±0.88 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The threadfin breams in SWF group had the highest TMA-N value, which was 2.17±1.22 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The TMA-N of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). The pH value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest pH value, which was 6.40±0.12. The threadfin breams in SWF group had the highest pH value, which was 6.78±0.25. The pH of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). Ki value The threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest Ki value, which was 9.05±0.73%. The threadfin breams in KWI group had the highest Ki value, which was 12.88±4.19%. The Ki value of all experimental groups of fish increased without statistical significance (p>0.05). In terms of freshness quality in microbiology, it was found that in all experimental groups, Salmonella spp., S. aureus, B. cereus, C. perfringens and E. coli were found in all experimental groups of threadfin breams. All types of microorganisms in all groups of threadfin breams increased with statistical significance (p<0.05). When compared with the freshness quality criteria in terms of sensory, chemical, physical, freshness index and microbiology, it was found that all groups of threadfin breams were very fresh and suitable for raw consumption during the preservation and storage for 3 days. After 3 days of storage, the threadfin breams should be consumed cooked because the freshness quality of the fish is not suitable for raw consumption due to the increase in various parameters. The increase in various parameters is due to the deterioration of the fish and the activities of microorganisms. Therefore, threadfin breams is suitable to promote raw consumption within 3 days of storage. In addition, fish preservation, especially by Ikejime method, then cutting open the belly and storing in the refrigerator, can help improve the freshness of the fish. The results of this study can be used to develop techniques for preserving fish after capture for fishermen and can promote the increase in the value of threadfin breams in the future.

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state.
