SACOC

Aerodynamic upgrade of
Surface Air Cooled Oil Cooler

Horizon 2020 / Clean Sky JU Call: H2020-CS2-CFP08-2018-01

The next generation of Geared Turbofan, like the UHBR concept, requires larger heat exchangers to dissipate the heat generated in operation. The main aims of this project are:

1

To develop a predictive numerical methodology to assess the performance of any new air heat exchanger concept. The methodology will be validated against an experimental database to be acquired in this project.

2

To evaluate numerically but also experimentally new concepts like SACOC without fins to improve the current SACOC technology, resulting from the better understanding of physical phenomena.
