Imagineering by Daher

It's by doing that we learn! 💡   At Imagineering, #testing is a crucial focus. Testing doesn’t always take us where we thought it would, but it always teaches us something.   As an aerospace manufacturer, we generate heat during the production of parts, particularly through the curing process, which involves heating a part to alter its mechanical properties. 🏭   It is from this observation that we launched the project to recover waste heat, aiming to reduce the impacts associated with such technologies. 🌍   👉 Waste heat is residual thermal energy generated by industrial processes, usually lost to the environment. Our initial idea was to convert this thermal energy into electrical energy. This conversion is theoretically possible using a thermodynamic machine such as an Ericsson engine or an ORC cycle. ⚡   However, in practice, this solution proved to be more complex than anticipated... 🚧   For this conversion to be effective, a substantial heat source with very high temperatures is needed, and ours does not meet these requirements. Moreover, the initial investment for such a machine is significant, requiring a return on investment (ROI) that is often high, not to mention potential maintenance costs.   However, this is not the only viable solution! Other valorization alternatives exist, such as preheating processes, heating offices, or heating hot water tanks. In our case, the chosen solution is the use of thermal batteries. These batteries are charged with heat during one cycle and discharged during the next cycle for better energy efficiency. ⚡🌍   Although we did not achieve our initial goal, our tests led us to other alternative solutions! ✅   Let us know if you hear about waste heat and if you tested anything in comments 👇

"Quel écosystème favorable pour la collaboration Tech & Industrie ?" 🤝 "what ecosystem to foster the collaboration between Industry and Tech?" Alongside Ghislain (Lhyfe), Sofien (D-ICE ENGINEERING) and François (PASCA), Sébastien, our Chief Open Innovation officer at DAHER shared his/our vision on this specific topic. A true Return on EXperience #rex nurtured by everything that we've been doing at Daher through collaborative innovation and now (for more than 10 years) through open innovation 💡 Everyone agrees on the need to work together between private and public sectors whatever the size and objectives. "Disrupting" and questioning the status quo seems to be the key but as Sébastien wisely remarked : 🎙️ yes but without destroying everything that has been done in the past but by building with and uppon it. ➡️ a sort of sobriety and nuance #surlepont Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement

🚀 Highlights from Recent Expos 🚀 We are thrilled to share our experiences from two events where our team members showcased our dedication to innovation and technology. Aris K. attended the Air Expo Lyon on Friday, while Romane Martin was at Les Mobilités Innov’ in Paris on Wednesday. 🌟 Air Expo Lyon 🌟 At this prestigious aviation event, we were present with Daher, showcasing our TBM and Kodiak models. Our suppliers Garmin and Hartzell demonstrated their cutting-edge technology, perfectly complementing our aircraft. French institutions were well represented, with the Armée de l’air et de l’espace and Police nationale engaging with us on the benefits and risks of drone technology 🚁. One standout startup was ASAP SAFEGUARD, presenting their inflatable shelter filled with innovative electronics. This technology promises to revolutionize rescue operations by enhancing safety and efficiency on the ground. Their solutions offer: Significant economic benefits. Comfort for pilots and for aircraft managers. New services available at airports. New customization options for aircraft.
