Design & Manufacture a Water Valve

$750-1500 USD

Closed
Posted almost 9 years ago

$750-1500 USD

Paid on delivery
A customised valve is required for flow control of water from a non-pressurised vessel which stores and dispenses drinking water from the Egg shaped vessel (see attached). Note: the valve must be designed to be installed inside the vessel. Inlet pressure is less than 6kPa. Essentially the valve is a 'plunger valve' however, the design of the valve need not be limited to the concept drawings attached. Applicants are encouraged to consider adapting / modifying the mechanics or brass bodies of existing valves already in production for this application. I am looking for a complete service to include design, prototyping and manufacturing for 300 units (valves) Criteria of the valve: * safe for use with drinking water * simple in function * cost effective solution Concept drawings are attached. Thank you James

Hi, I am a mechanical engineer with extensive design experience. I have 9 international publications and 5 patents to my name. In past I have designed variable stability aircraft (changes its geometry while flying- having more than 800 custom designed parts), glider based payload delivery system/mechanism, desktop coffee roasting machine, gun recoil simulation mechanism, etc to name a few. I can design this valve very easily for you. I also have inhouse prototyping and manufacturing facility including 3D printing i.e. SLA and SLS in 3 different polymers. I also have vacuum casting facility both for a range of polymers and aluminum. CNC milling and turning is also available apart from several other facilities like chrome plating, etc and can get the valves manufactured Kindly provide some details about the project like rough idea about the diameter, the desired operating method (knob type, etc) to estimate the exact amount of effort required and bid more accurately. If you have any queries do let me know. Best regards Anuj Garg

Hi James, I'm a mechanical engineer with over 15 years experience in designing, modeling, prototyping and effective manufacturing of different products, ranging from consumer goods to alternative energy systems. I could design and manufacture the prototype of the valve and the egg (you'll have to give me the dimensions of the egg and prefered material), and based on the prototyping results (you know that prototyping is more expensive then mass production, and also is required in order to check the design and the functionality), I will give you the price for larger quantity. Anyway I have to tell you that the pressure you indicate is very low (6kPa=0.06bar) which mean that will that the atmospheric pressure will prevent the water to flow from the egg. If ther is any tricky issue, you'll have to tell me. First at all, I'll have to make a 3D(virtual) prototype of this instalation, which to show how it works. Second I'll have to test the concept into an improvized vessel(where to have just 6kPa pressure). After this I'll do the prototype.

Hello Friend I work as consultant in Norway for the last four years, and during that period I have worked with precise equipment such as subsea connectors and valves, and also with ships equipments such as ramps, cranes, etc. I work everyday with creation of different valves(for Oil & Gas) so i think I m best candidate for your project. With my knowledge of Finite element analysis together with hand calculations your product will fit for purpose with less material as possible. Please send me detail of work so I can verify time required correctly, and maybe lower the price, and we can discuss it :) Be sure that your product will work by using my services. My experience can be found on LinkedIn per your request. Best Regards
