Meat Curing Chamber Conversion Kit

The goal of the project is to produce a prototype of the ChamberMade HT1, a two-part conversion kit comprising a control box and humidifier reservoir that mounts to the side of a refrigerator or 'wine fridge'. The control wiring and a water line pass through a small hole drilled into the side of the refrigerator and connect to the internal components, consisting of a vaporizer, H/T sensors, and a variable speed fan. While the controllers and fan are off-the-shelf components, a custom humidifier will need to be engineered to have the external water tank feed the internal vaporizer. Deliverables for the project include: * A Literature Review Report * A Design and Analysis Report * A "Best Efforts" Prototype with Blueprints

 
 

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
