Cold Filter Update
• Temperature controller– Jeremy is obtaining the special plug to hook
up to laptop– Will get plugs for heaters’ power supply– Cannot access program until temperature
controller is in computer
• Can now operate program from desk
Cold Filter Update (con’t)
• Added another thermocouple– Designed to take ambient temperature of
freezer– Will run temperature controller from this one
and fuel tank only– Thermocouple in filter will be collected but not
controlled
Future Work
• Temperature controller– Finish the heaters– Hook-up to laptop and program
• Do preliminary test runs with ULSD
