For this project, it was about taking my skills in energy and thermal modelling, and applying them to the polar station\u2019s design&nbsp;for its HVAC systems \u2013&nbsp;heating, ventilation and air conditioning, as well as the integration of solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also involved engineering the mechanical lock system for the \u2018moonpool\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe moonpool is a central tunnel that provides direct access to the Ocean from inside the boat,\u201d he says. \u201cIt allows divers and equipment to safely enter the water \u2013 even when the vessel is locked in winter ice. Everything we have designed helps science in real, concrete ways. It is the integration of all this tech for the vessel that\u2019s innovative. It\u2019s a complex and technical challenge that required a cross-fertilisation of skills.
