ERI offers technological solutions to serve society and industry
Dr.Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, received a report from Dr. Sherine Abdel Qader Muharram, President of the Electronics Research Institute, about a team of researchers at the Institute was able to develop a successful solution to the problem of alerting vehicle drivers to the devastating event of internal combustion engines caused by accidental overheating of the engine alloy, due to the failure of the cooling system without the driver's attention and stopping the vehicle in a timely manner. The report stated that the development reached by the research team came within the framework of the Electronics Research Institute's keenness to participate in proposing solutions to problems of a technological nature facing society, adding that the solution developed by the research team is based on the use of digital technology to sense the temperature with high accuracy and in a way that is immune from interference, explaining that the design of the device is characterized by not using any of the car’s sensors, and does not interfere with its braid, and does not require any modifications or special equipment to be made on it, and then it is suitable for all types of cars that are cooled with a liquid coolant. The report indicated that a number of units (a test sample of 120 units) were manufactured to test field performance and market absorption, noting that for more than 3 years, the device was tested on more than 60 cars of different models, during which the device proved completely effective in Protect the engines of those cars. On her part, Dr. Sherine Abdel Qader that the research team is developing additional features for the device that customers have requested; To produce and market the product locally, with the possibility of exporting it to neighboring markets with quantitative production and at a more economic cost, pointing out that the research team received many purchase orders from various countries, including: (Saudi Arabia, Libya, Jordan, Algeria, and Palestine), explaining that the device is suitable for All thermal control and alarm applications such as heat dissipaters for power electronics applications, refrigerators for vegetables and fruits, refrigerators and household refrigerators, and refrigeration and air-conditioning devices, where the temperature range on which the device operates is from -40°C to +150°C, confirming that the device has been well received and praised Users are individuals and institutions. It is worth noting that the research team under the supervision of Dr. Osama Mohamed, Head of the High Energy and Energy Conversion Department at the Institute, and composed of Dr. Ahmed Ali, Dr. Mohamed El-Sayed, Dr. Mohamed Samir, Dr. Ghada Ahmed, Dr. Mahmoud Mohamed, currently Dean of the College of Industry and Energy Technology at Delta Technology University, and Dr.Yousra Abdel-Gawad, Department of Photovoltaic Cells, Institute.
