Wärmemanagementsysteme in der Luftfahrt mit hybridelektrischem Antrieb
6 CPSummerEN
Contents
The following topics will be addressed in this module: • Introduction to TMS and heat transfer mechanisms • General concepts, applications and examples • Thermal management in electric motors and generators • Thermal management in batteries • Thermal management in power electronics • Thermal management in fuel cells • Thermal management in power distribution systems • Heat exchangers • Pumps, fans and heat exchanger intakes • Cooling fluid and storages • TMS design, integration and control
Learning outcomes
After a successful completion of this module, the students aquire the knowledge on the whole thermal management system (TMS) and the subsystems and components involved. They will be able to analyse the system and design a TMS for a specific appication. In general, the students will gain the knowledge and skills on how to handle the heat generated by the components in a hybrid-electric propulsion systems, and make the whole system more efficient.
