Thermal Control System for Electrical Components of Hybrid-Electric Powered Low Carbon Air Vehicle

Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of thermal control systems (TCS) for electrical components of hybrid-electric low carbon air vehicles, addressing the TCS challenges set by the ICAO's 2050 net-zero carbon emissions goal. We explore various heat sinks and TCS architectures through theoretical modeling and simulation using Flomaster and MATLAB/Simulink, focusing on heat sink effectiveness and system integration. Two distinct TCS architectures, centralized and distributed, are analyzed for their performance in managing thermal loads of electrical components across different flight phases. Our findings highlight the superior efficiency of the distributed system in maintaining component temperatures within safe operational limits, thereby enhancing aircraft sustainability and operational safety.
