The objective of my research this summer was to determine the effects
of CO2 tank cooling as a power source for the Portable Power Ankle-Foot
Orthosis. It was anticipated that fuel usage would increase and
performance decrease due to cooling the CO2 tank undergoes during
operation.
The results showed that fuel was consumed
consistently at all tank temperatures experienced during operation, this
was the opposite of expectations. Also observed was unstable pressure
resulting in unreliable power output from the actuator, and suggestions
were made on possible mechanical systems that could remedy this problem.
This
was all outlined in the following power point presentation, and if
anyone has any questions they can contact me at email at any time.
