Conflux Technology and aircraft manufacturer AMSL Aero have joined forces to enhance hydrogen fuel cell cooling for the Vertiia Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. In the initial phase, Conflux developed three heat exchanger concepts to minimize weight and volume while managing continuous heat loads to enable flight distances of up to 1,000 km. The project has now progressed to its second phase, focusing on optimizing the design and manufacturing of a proof-of-concept assembly to evaluate performance within Vertiia's powertrain. Conflux's goal is to provide efficient cooling for high transient heat loads experienced during various aircraft operations, emphasizing weight, performance, and packaging size considerations. The partnership aims to leverage Conflux's expertise in additive manufacturing to deliver optimal thermal performance and reduce drag. Conflux's CEO, Michael Fuller, and AMSL Aero's chairman, Chris Smallhorn, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the significance of hydrogen fuel cells in achieving sustainable air transport solutions. Simon Coburn, Hydrogen Systems Engineer at AMSL Aero, emphasized the importance of clean energy and cutting-edge engineering in driving the aviation industry towards a greener and more sustainable future. The partnership between Conflux Technology and AMSL Aero represents a significant step towards innovating hydrogen fuel cell technology in the aviation sector.
