Presentation

Optimization of liquid-bearing cooling systems to enable scalable mass production

The presentation explores the optimization of cooling systems for electric aircraft, focusing on scalable designs for mass production. Drawing from automotive industry experiences, it emphasizes the importance of integrating tolerance requirements, space constraints and flow optimization from the outset. Special attention is given to the fluid management system, particularly the coupling mechanisms for pipes and hoses. By leveraging proven automotive strategies, transitioning from prototype to mass production is seamless, efficient and cost-effective. Henn's approach guarantees that aircraft liquid cooling systems are robust, adaptable and ready for widespread adoption.
