SW_ICS

This project will identify and develop cooling architectures and technologies to meet the needs of future engines. Efforts will be divided into three main areas, each corresponding to a major evolution of needs and constraints:

• thermal management: future engines evolutions will generate more heat sources whilst reducing the cold sources;
• recovery system: the revolution introduced by the arrival of sealed joints in bearings casing enables the removal of ventilation;
• power conditioning: engine evolutions will lead to change cooling requirements depending of the phase of flight.

Activities throughout the ICS project aim to :

• Quantify cooling needs evolution;
• Identify cooling architectures that meet new engines requirements,
• List and select the cooling technologies,
• Identify hard points / major risks associated with these technologies,
• Solve or eliminate hard points through studies and partial tests 
• Develop CAE tools that fit test data related to these technologies.
