VABO has gotten multiple request from clients for double doors (2 leaves opening in opposite directions, without a jam in the middle). A double door comes with 2 inherent problems:
- Sealing the gap between the 2 leaves.
- Sealing the location where the seal from 1 door meets the other.
Education level:
HBO
Within the project the student(s) will have to investigate the following:
- Investigate different seal types, materials and joining methods (between seals)
- Design seal holder and/or connection detail for double doors
- Design experiments and perform pressure tests to check the seals performance
VABO states that the outcome of the project has to meet the following requirements:
- Easy to integrate in the current Accedoo products
- Supply chain and cost calculation should be thoroughly mapped out (product ready to order by VABO
