At our recent visit to our facility in Poland we identified external manufacturing errors in one component part of the WHR system,
** Surely you have an exhaustive quality system in place to vet the incoming parts ? I guess a financier was able to spot these errors that consultants, engineering partners, assemblers testers and the part manufacturer themselves couldn’t spot. Well done !! **
this component having been specially manufactured with new heat retaining coatings
** Don’t you mean heat resistant coatings ? After all these parts are supposedly being subjected to very high exhaust temperatures. I can’t see much need to retain any heat when they being blasted with heat up to 1500 ⁰F **
for the drive that powers the helix Accelerator, to deliver output of over 130 kW. This item has a long lead time for delivery as it needs to be manufactured and tested before installing and proceeding with the final testing of the WHR unit.
** It must be one very complex part! Obviously your brilliant engineering minds didn’t put much effort into assessing the risk to the project if parts failed during testing. Especially this long lead time part. Have they tested things in the past ? What will happen during 7 months of longevity testing ? Will more parts fail and also require resourcing, are you just keeping your fingers crossed ? **
Althought this has caused delays whilst we secured alternative sources to manufacture this component,
** For a long lead time part, I’m guessing it was relatively expensive ? Didn’t you just send it back and ask for a correctly manufactured part pronto ? **
we are pleased to report this component is now in design with the manufacturer confirming with confidence that it will meet the system requirements
** Surely you don’t mean it is in design, surely it was already designed by In-spirit ! You must mean an order has been placed with an alternative manufacturer according to In-spirits design, drawings and specification. **
Who dreams up this rubbish
