TRIZ trends predict an increased electrification of engineering systems. One of the visible effects of this is lighting, in this case party lights on boats. The need to furnish a boat with colorful illumination requires a flexible, redispatchable system. Cable-bound illumination does not meet this requirement. A solution is presented in this paper using TRIZ as a problem-solving methodology. TRIZ comprises a set of heuristic tools for problem analysis, reformulation, root cause analysis, and problem-solving algorithms. TRIZ, however, concentrates on generating solutions to problems irrespective of given limitations concerning, for example, safety, producibility, or cost. TRIZ provides a direction of thinking that has been proven successful in the past for similar problems. Other tools must, nevertheless, be used to carry out a technical evaluation of the feasibility of the solution, scalability, practicability, or cost target. TRIZ tools are widely used by engineers in multinational corporations such as Intel, GE, Philips, Siemens, Bosch, Boeing, Samsung, LG, and Cochlear. In this paper, selected tools from the overall TRIZ toolbox will be used and explained, with a focus on functional analysis, trimming, and resources. However, other aspects (Trends, Function Oriented Search (FOS), and Ideal Final Result (IFR)) will also be presented.

In this study, the process of membrane cleaning by supercritical fluid extraction was investigated. Polypropylene microfiltration membranes, contaminated with oils, were treated in a batch process with a supercritical fluid (SCF). As extractant, pure supercritical carbon dioxide or supercritical carbon dioxide with admixtures of methanol, ethanol and isopropanol were used. Single-stage and multi-stage extraction was carried out and process efficiency was determined. The obtained results showed that addition of organic solvents significantly enhances the cleaning performance, which increases with increase of organic solvent concentration and decreases with increasing temperature. All three solvents showed a comparable effect of efficiency enhancement. The results confirmed that supercritical fluid extraction can be applied for polypropylene membrane cleaning.

The infl uence of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) on structure and mechanical properties of porous polypropylene tubular membranes subjected to diff erent process conditions was investigated. The membranes were treated with scCO2 at pressure of 18 MPa and at three diff erent temperatures (40°C, 70°C, and 100°C) for 2 h in a batch reactor. The obtained samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine the impact on the membrane structure, tensile testing for ultimate strength assessment, and bubble point test for determination of the pore size distribution and the fi ltration coeffi cient (UFC). A membrane not treated with scCO2 was used as reference sample for comparison. SEM pictures of side surfaces and cross-sections of treated tubular membranes did not reveal any changes in membrane structure. Tensile testing of treated and non-treated samples showed that after scCO2 treatment the ultimate strength slightly decreased (less than 10%), while the Young’s modulus was reduced by almost 50%. The bubble point test showed that scCO2 causes an increase in the number of pores and an increase in the UFC value. In the range 40–100°C no signifi cant temperature dependence was observed. The results confi rm that supercritical carbon dioxide can be used as a medium in porous polypropylene membrane production, maintenance and modifi cation.
