Xi Engineering Consultants modelled Linn’s passive aluminium chimney heat exchanger, optimising fin geometry and airflow so a flagship amplifier could run cool and reliable without fans.
Minimising metro induced ground borne vibration for new homes Xi Engineering Consultants combined on site vibration measurement and numerical modelling to design an anti vibration trench for a residential development beside the Newcastle Metro, helping the project secure planning permission without redesigning the building structure. The Challenge Designers of residential and commercial buildings must consider…
Reviewing a prototype medical pressure pump, Xi identified the main noise and vibration sources and set out a clear development strategy to make the device quieter and more comfortable for patients.
On the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, Xi used Operational Deflection Shape modelling to understand severe vibration on critical machinery and confirm that the proposed isolation would keep the vessel operating reliably at sea.
From structural resonance analysis to real time site monitoring, Xi supports construction teams with clear evidence that their designs and works will perform as intended and meet regulatory expectations.
Xi Engineering Consultants carried out an expert noise and vibration review of a novel compressor, resolving current issues and uncovering hidden risks before launch.
Xi Engineering Consultants reviewed wind microclimate assessments for major urban developments, strengthening Environmental Statements so planning authorities could approve schemes with confidence.
Xi supported DP Energy with subsea acoustic modelling and drivetrain analysis for a proposed tidal turbine array off Islay,
Xi worked with Arrayjet to build solid mechanics and CFD models of their modular microdroplet dispensing system.
Xi Engineering Consultants developed and validated a vibration isolation system for neonatal transport to protect premature infants during critical transfers between hospitals.
