Palace, the European project, is unveiled
The aim of the Cleansky project Palace is to develop a new pump architecture to equip the cooling systems of the next generation of aircraft generators. Find out more about this fascinating experience through a dedicated website page and a YouTube video.
There is absolutely no doubt that the future generation of aircraft will require electrical generators that deliver more electrical power and the pumps installed in the aircraft cooling systems will have to be enhanced accordingly. Serv, a French pump designer and manufacturer, Cetim and Thales Avionics Electrical Systems (TAES), Topic Manager of the European project Palace (Pump Architecture Linked to Aircraft Cooling Expectations), have risen to this challenge. With funding from the Cleansky programme, this project aims to develop a new pump architecture to cool the future generation of generators.
This is no easy feat as this pump must be smaller and lighter than current models while meeting demanding conditions including a minimum flowrate of 23 litres per minute, a rotation speed of 12,000 to 30,000 rpm, an operating temperature range of -40 to +120°C and withstanding all pressure variations between 0 and 55,000 feet!
The first steps in the development process of this unprecedented pump can be viewed on a dedicated web page:www.cetim.fr/palace and in a video posted on the Cetim France YouTubechannel.

With product modelling and simulation potential solutions can be virtually optimized before they are really implemented. We tend to set up a more efficient design by taking fatigue life into account and optimizing safety factors within a fiabilist approach. The main goal is to achieve much shorter development deadlines. Major improvements are experienced in the field of simulation dealing with more and more complex and multi-physical phenomena.
This technological focus includes projects relating to : fiabilist design of products, functional requirement and performance qualification checking, analysis methods based on customer needs, design of clean and silent products, simulation of product behavior and operation.
