Project description DEENESFRITPL New cooling system to conquer engine overheating The challenge of engine overheating has yet to be solved by the aerospace industry, burdened by weight, size and inefficiency. But a ground-breaking initiative is poised to change the game. The EU-funded ACOC project aims to design and manufacture an unparalleled air-oil engine cooling system, tackling the long-standing problem head-on. Its goal is to achieve superior heat rejection with reduced weight and smaller dimensions compared to conventional systems. Through the use of computational fluid dynamics simulations, the project aims to optimise integration without compromising cooler efficiency. In addition, advanced 1D Amesim simulations are poised to revolutionise heat management for engine systems. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The project aims is focused on the design and manufacture of a novel air-oil engine cooling system to be integrated into the engine bay. The project will investigate any better configurations to achieve the same heat rejection with lower weight and smaller overall dimensions than conventional ACOC systems. In addition, improved integration into the engine system (without impairing cooler efficiency) will be designed through the use numerical simulations via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess the hydraulic, structural and aerodynamic impact of the ACOC installation. In addition to this an assessment of the heat management for the engine system will be required using 1D AMESIM simulation leading to a proposed heat management model and finally demonstrator hardware will be delivered for engine ground tests Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringengineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringaerospace engineeringaircraftengineering and technologymechanical engineeringmanufacturing engineeringsubtractive manufacturingengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsengineering and technologymechanical engineeringmanufacturing engineeringadditive manufacturing Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.4. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Smart, Green And Integrated Transport Main Programme H2020-EU.3.4.5.5. - ITD Engines Topic(s) JTI-CS2-2016-CFP03-ENG-01-09 - Integrated air-oil cooling system Call for proposal H2020-CS2-CFP03-2016-01 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CS2-IA - Innovation action Coordinator HS MARSTON AEROSPACE LIMITED Net EU contribution € 664 276,38 Address Wobaston road fordhouses WV10 6QJ Wolverhampton United Kingdom See on map Region West Midlands (England) West Midlands Wolverhampton Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 285 712,37
