Why TAT?
- High Voltage
- DO-160 Compliant
- One system for Multiple Thermal Applications
- Universal
TAT believes the future of electric flight requires (1) primary Thermal Management
System to effectively manage the thermal requirements for the major heat generating
systems and, at the same time, provide ease of integration and reliability. Using DO-160 high voltage components as the basis of design, our systems are compact and light weight to comply with the requirements to make electric flight possible.
That’s why we’ve developed the UCS (Universal Cooling System) capable of independent or integrated air and liquid cooling loops to actively manage the heat loads for:
-
- Battery Systems
- Cabin Conditioning
- Power Electronics
- Avionics
- Electric Motors
- Air
- Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant
- PGW
- EGW
- Oil
- Other based on requirements
* Depending on Performance Requirements (Temperature, Pressure, Anti-Corrosion)
- Modular Design to support (1) thermal application target or multiple depending on the aircraft configuration.
- Scalable to support the aircrafts evolution from generation to generation.
- High Voltage Components (800VDC+)
- DO-160 Compliant
- IoT-enabled sensors for real-time monitoring for Predictive Maintenance and Alarms
Battery Systems
The BTMS (Battery Thermal Management System) is temperature regulated per Battery Manufacturers requirements and recommended cooling media. IoT-enabled temperature sensors for real-time monitoring and adaptive cooling to maximize efficiency during various phases of flight (take-off, cruising, landing).
Power Electronics And Avionics
Cooled via cold plates, forced cabin air, or liquid cooling loop, depending on performance requirements. IoT-integrated system for predictive cooling, adjusting airflow based on real-time electronic load and environmental factors.
Cabin Conditioning
Environmental Control System (ECS) to maintain comfortable temperatures in the cockpit and cabin. This system features a lightweight heat pump integrated with the overall cooling architecture, regulating both heating and cooling. Heat recovery system to capture waste heat from the batteries / H2FCs, motors and electronics, providing energy-efficient temperature control for the cabin.
Electric Motors
Most eVTOLs have air cooled electric motors. For those eVTOLs with Pusher Electric Motors, a cooling via a closed-loop system that scales to motor size and quantity may be required. TAT supports this application using a system using EGW, PGW, oil, or other fluids recommend by the motor manufacturer for efficient thermal management and extended motor life.
