Objective "The Project aim is to develop and demonstrate an advanced structural surface cooler mounted in an appropriate core fairing composite structure. Currently surface coolers are an integral feature of advanced turbofan engine designs. They contribute to achieving the best engine performance by maintaining oil and fuel temperatures within defined limits and by virtue of their mounting on the inside of the fancase they obviate the need for additional ducting of air and a control valve to switch the air on/off. The lack of ducting and control valve leads to an overall cost and weight reduction. Oil and/or fuel is cooled by the passage of cool engine bypass air flow over the air washed surface of the heat exchanger.Current surface coolers are parasitic to the existing engine structure, and occupy surfaces that can also be used for acoustic treatment to control engine noise. As such the weight, volume and efficiency of the surface cooler are all of great importance.The design and installation of a compact and lightweight structural surface cooler in a core fairing structure will contribute positively to the efficiency of the power-plant by providing the necessary oil cooling at minimum overall weight and hence optimal fuel burn..Also it is envisaged that surface cooler/composite core fairing designs will evolve that employ novel structural design, advance manufacturing techniques, potentially novel materials and new concepts in utilising air washed surfaces on the engine. The structural integration of the metallic structural surface cooler to a composite core fairing type structure has been identified as an important area for success. The joint must allow a strong load path, handle dissimilar degrees of thermal displacement and provide sealing yet being light and durable. Therefore mounting of such a surface cooler in a composite core fairing structure will also be researched for future engines where composite air washed structures may be used" Fields of science engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcompositesengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuels Programme(s) FP7-TRANSPORT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Transport (including Aeronautics) Topic(s) AAT.2012.4.1-6. - Enhancing cooperation with Japan in the field of surface heat exchanger for aero-engines Call for proposal FP7-AAT-2012-RTD-JAPAN See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator ROLLS-ROYCE PLC EU contribution € 270 902,00 Address KINGS PLACE 90 YORK WAY N1 9FX London United Kingdom See on map Region London Inner London — West Camden and City of London Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Keith Nurney (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all GKN AEROSPACE SWEDEN AB Sweden EU contribution € 220 808,00 Address - 46181 Trollhaettan See on map Region Södra Sverige Västsverige Västra Götalands län Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Anders Sjunnesson (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data RISE SICOMP AB Sweden EU contribution € 422 953,00 Address FIBERVAEGEN 2 - OEJEBYN 941 26 Pitea See on map Region Norra Sverige Övre Norrland Norrbottens län Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Patrik Fernberg (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data INEGI - INSTITUTO DE CIENCIA E INOVACAO EM ENGENHARIA MECANICA E ENGENHARIA INDUSTRIAL Portugal EU contribution € 229 425,00 Address RUA DR ROBERTO FRIAS 400 4200-465 Porto See on map Region Continente Norte Área Metropolitana do Porto Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Sérgio Cunha (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data SUMITOMO SEIMITSU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA Japan EU contribution No data Address FUSO CHO - HYOGO 1-10 660 0891 AMAGASAKI See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Kazushi Watanabe (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION THEUNIVERSITY OF TOKYO Japan EU contribution No data Address HONGO BUNKYO KU 7 3 1 113 8656 Tokyo See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Toshinori Watanabe (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
