Aerolab’s Post

A major step has been reached, our containerized LH2 filling station is on his way to Hamburg Airport. A significant development in reducing emissions and transitioning to more sustainable fuel sources for aviation. The Hydrogen Aviation Lab in Hamburg aims for the design and testing of maintenance and ground-based processes for (liquid) hydrogen technology for aviation. The Lab is a collaboration of Lufthansa Technik, German Aerospace Center (DLR), ZAL Center of Applied Aeronautical Research and Hamburg Airport. The Hydrogen Aviation Lab will be fitted with test systems, an onboard fuel cell and supporting ground-based liquid hydrogen infrastructure to test maintenance and refuelling procedures.   ZAL Center of Applied Aeronautical Research has selected Cryoworld BV as partner for the design and manufacturing of the liquid hydrogen supply and storage unit. This unit shall be able to safely store about 100 kg of liquid hydrogen and to supply liquid hydrogen from the storage dewar to fill the aircraft tank. Further, the unit shall allow filling of the storage tank from a standard delivery truck. The scope of Cryoworld includes process, safety and electrical design, the integration in a transportable container and delivery of the instrumentation and control system.   #innovation #airports #liquidhydrogen #cryogenics #sustainableaviation #energytransition #Tas Transport #Bertil van Beek

We are ideed super excited about learning and working with liquid hydrogen! It's a very promising fuel for the emissions-free flight not only for aircraft! ✈️🌱 Especially when handling small quantities (~1 to 20 kg) for testing LH2-compatible components and filling long-flight drones as our Liquidrone, there are currently few market-ready solutions available. The storage and supply unit (SVE) of the Hydrogen Aviation Lab (in collaboration with Lufthansa Technik, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., and Hamburg Airport) offers a great approach for bridging the gap between industry offerings and development needs. 💡🤝 Moreover, the setup provides us with an opportunity to study the long-term behavior of LH2 systems in terms of operation and maintenance (MRO), especially under conditions of high cyclic stress (cold shocks). 🧪❄️ #hydrogen #H2 #liquidhydrogen #LH2

🚀 Airbus Developing 2MW Superconducting Powertrain for Hydrogen Aircraft 🌍✈️ Airbus is pushing the boundaries of superconducting technology for future hydrogen-powered aircraft with its Cryoprop demonstrator. This innovative system will feature a 2MW electric propulsion system, cooled by liquid hydrogen through helium recirculation. Building on its previous success with the 500kW ASCEND demonstrator, Airbus aims to reduce the need for high voltages by using cryogenically-frozen superconducting materials. By leveraging the cooling process of liquid hydrogen, they intend to maintain the optimal temperature for superconducting conditions, creating an efficient and lighter propulsion system. Key benefits: • Weight and fuel savings 🛠️ • Higher efficiency for larger, long-range aircraft ✈️ • Development of specialist knowledge on industrialization, maintenance, and operations. Superconducting technology could be a game-changer for the future of hydrogen aviation, and Airbus’s Cryoprop could pave the way for scalable, high-power electrification in aviation. An overview of the Airbus #ZeroE Cryoprop superconding project…for the uninitiated there’s more going on here than shared and HyFlux is keen to share…when we can.
