Don’t let thermal management issues limit aircraft systems performance and safety - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

 

Thermal management is a key challenge when designing conventional airplanes. Electrification makes this challenge even harder due to a high volume of electric equipment, which drastically increases heat loads. However, the use of composites structures limits the ability to reject heat outboard. For this reason, airframers may need to retrofit their fleet and install inerting systems to avoid any flammability concerns in the fuel systems.

 

The fuel system plays a critical role in your thermal management strategy since it helps dissipate a large amount of heat generated by increased aircraft electrification. In this webinar, Safran Aerosystems and Siemens will discuss how Simcenter enables you to keep aircraft safer and cooler.

 

 

- How Safran Aerosystems assesses flammability of aircraft fuel tanks with Simcenter

- How to:

 

§ Address fuel simulation at the global system and detailed equipment levels

§ Perform fuel tank thermal analysis in support of Fuel Tank Flammability Assessment Method (FTFAM)

§ Optimize thermal management strategies using virtual systems integration

§ Minimize the thermo-structural effects of the fuel on wings

§ Perform multi-scale thermal simulations from local to global aircraft thermal modeling
