Air industry achievement:
RFI 300 water cooler & RFIH 1000 oil cooler, for Nidec / Airbus
At Airbus, decarbonization is no longer a question: it is an objective, for which concrete air industry projects are underway and about to deliver their first tangible results.
Thus, the ZEROe project aims to fly 100% electric aircraft, incorporating hydrogen fuel cell systems and electric motors that must be powerful, efficient and reliable.
To develop these engines, Airbus is calling on the teams at Nidec (Leroy-Somer) who have been designing and testing these future electric motors for the past two years.
The need
The Nidec development center in Angoulême called upon EURODIFROID to provide its expertise on “temperature management” issues on test benches, during engine performance tests (which are then pushed to their maximum operating limits).
The final cooling system
- A main refrigeration unit, directly dedicated to the test bench, consisting of an RFI 300 and an RFI H100;
- Complemented by a system dedicated to managing this refrigeration unit, including an RFI 250 and a SKID 800 for the overall hydraulic management (in partnership with ENGIE Energies Service).
Our teams are working jointly with the Nidec (Leroy-Somer) teams to finalize the end-of-production tests at our premises in Seiche-sur-le-Loir.
The next steps of the project
Further tests will then be carried out at the end-use site, in order to finalize the last settings and continue the development of the engines.
A superb technical and industrial collaboration.
More than just a supplier, EURODIFROID is a true asset to your project teams.
Designed & manufactured in France
and complementary products from Texas.
