Obiettivo
"This proposal responds to the call JTI-CS-2012-1-SGO-02-040, in the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking included in the frame of the European FP7. This call is made for the design of a filtration system for electrical ECS (Environmental Control System) packs.
Traditional ECS packs take the air from the engine through the bleed system. Therefore, some previous filtration is performed, since the air has gone through several stages of the engine compressor. Contrary, electrical ECS packs capture directly the air from the atmosphere via the scoop air inlet located on the belly fairing of the aircraft. Consequently, pollutants can be ingested by the scoop and therefore be introduced in the compressor of the electrical ECS if the air inlet is not properly cleaned.
Most of aircrafts are equipped with traditional bleed ECS packs. Nevertheless, Boeing has incorporated such electrical no-bleed systems on the Boeing 787. Furthermore, applicability of actual filtration technology used on aircrafts and rotorcrafts highly exposed to harsh environment has to be further investigated and analyzed. Such systems are basically barrier filtration or inertial particle separation filters.
Thus an air filtration system has to be developed during the project to accomplish the required removal of debris and pollutants at the compressor inlet. The aim of the filtration system is at the end to guarantee that the probability of loss of fresh air supply to the cabin stays in a non-relevant range, according to ECS safety.
The methodology proposed combines theoretical (computational) and experimental techniques, and the knowledge in fluid dynamics by UPVLC with the industrial experience of LBFS in this particular area. Furthermore, applicants have wide experience managing performing EU funded projects and private funded projects for the development of filtrations systems in different industrial areas."
