In terms of thermal management, the group offers numerous solutions for cooling by air or conduction (vacuum brazed heat sinks or graphite encapsulated heat diffusers), by liquids (liquid cold plate, high temperature heat exchangers), by two-phase cooling systems (thermally integrated housings and chassis, heat pipe assemblies, two-phase cooling systems, integrated cooling circuits).

The WEL Research Institute supports strategic research through programmes emanating from the universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Our departments are: 

Dans les applications aéronautiques et spatiales les besoins en régulation de température augmentent (avion plus électrique, satellites grandissants) et les systèmes actuels de régulation atteignent leurs limites.

MPL2030 vise l’étude et le développement d’un système de transfert de chaleur encore nouveau dans ces domaines d’application : la boucle diphasique à pompage mécanique (MPL diphasique).

Les systèmes diphasiques de transfert de chaleur, les meilleurs en termes de performances, ne sont pas encore utilisés dans l’aéronautique.

Sichem stands out by offering high-quality coatings that meet the specific requirements of its customers in terms of wear resistance, adhesion, and durability. The company invests in research and development of new technologies to stay at the forefront of innovation. Close collaboration with customers enables expert advice to be offered to meet the specific needs of each client.

ID works together with its affiliate Desimone to offer a wide range of services to our industrial customers. We have a vast experience in R&D and innovation programs, that allow us to support you at a very early stage of the conception of an automated production system, including most industry 4.0 technologies.

One of our key specialties is the full automation of Quality Control and NDT processes, mastering techniques such as Eddy Current, industrial vision, contactless metrology, etc and integrating them in custom made machines.

Headquartered in Brussels, and founded in 2016, VEOWARE developed a unique scalable-by-design microCMG, miniaturizing technology that has traditionally been adopted for larger satellites, enabling high-agility maneuvering for small satellite applications such as Earth Observation, Communication, Space Situational Awareness and In-Orbit Servicing. The VEOWARE team can also provide mission analysis support, define ACS requirements, simulate required attitude and propose a suitable ACS design to meet mission requirements.”
