Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aero-engines, and more particularly to an aero-engine, a thermal management method, a thermal management system, and a computer-readable medium. Background Technology
[0002] High efficiency, low fuel consumption, and low pollution have always been the goals pursued by aero engines. For turbofan engines, improving thermodynamic cycle parameters and bypass ratio is the main way to improve the thermal efficiency and propulsion efficiency of traditional turbofan engines and reduce fuel consumption. However, due to constraints in materials, processes, and structural feasibility, the space for further improvement of the performance of traditional turbofan engines is very limited, making it difficult to meet the stringent standards for fuel consumption and environmental protection of future aero power plants.
[0003] With the booming development of the new energy industry, the proportion of electric energy in aviation is gradually increasing. Hybrid electric propulsion technology combines the high power-to-weight ratio of gas turbine engines with the high efficiency and environmental friendliness of electric propulsion.
[0004] Hybrid electric propulsion systems provide power output to the thrusters through conventional power and electric components. Conventional power mainly refers to turboshaft and turbofan engines, while the electric components mainly consist of electric motors, energy storage devices (batteries), and controllers. The thrusters include propellers and ducted fans.
[0005] The inventors discovered that thermal management technology is one of the key bottlenecks in hybrid propulsion technology for aero engines. The effectiveness of the thermal management system determines the lifespan and thermal safety of the battery and motor, while its power consumption and quality affect the overall system performance. Specifically, the inventors found that in hybrid electric propulsion systems, all components of the power system have significant heat dissipation requirements. The electric drive system requires approximately 10% of its transmitted energy for heat dissipation, while the battery requires approximately 20% of its total energy for heat dissipation during discharge. This significant heat dissipation requirement leads to high power consumption in the thermal management system. When the operating conditions of the hybrid electric propulsion system change, the heat dissipation varies, and the power consumption of the thermal management system will also change. Simultaneously, the weight and size of the thermal management system also affect the overall weight and layout of the hybrid electric propulsion system, influencing system design. Furthermore, it should be noted that the thermal management system can maintain components operating within a specific temperature range. The operating characteristics of electrical components such as batteries and motors are temperature-dependent; the introduction of the thermal management system also allows the impact of temperature on the economy and safety of electrical components to be considered during component design.
[0006] Because hybrid power systems have many heat-generating components, including engines, motors, motor controls, and batteries, these components are widely distributed. Current thermal management of hybrid power systems typically adopts a decentralized cooling design, taking into account factors such as aircraft safety, reliability, weight, and complexity. However, decentralized cooling designs require separate heat dissipation and cooling devices for different heat-generating components, resulting in complex heat dissipation structures that occupy a lot of space and weight. Traditional independent thermal management methods for each system cannot achieve efficient utilization of heat sinks and pose a risk of leakage, which severely tests the aircraft's weight control, space layout, and safety assurance.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need in the field for an aero-engine, thermal management method, thermal management system, and computer-readable medium to reduce energy loss, maximize the utilization of heat sinks, and ensure that each system operates normally and safely without the risk of overheating under various complex flight conditions.

[0029] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. More details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can obviously be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions and derivations based on actual application situations without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.
[0030] Furthermore, this application uses specific terms to describe embodiments of the application, such as "an embodiment," "one embodiment," and / or "some embodiments," which refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic related to at least one embodiment of the application. Therefore, it should be emphasized and noted that "an embodiment" or "one embodiment" mentioned twice or more in different locations in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, certain features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments of the application can be appropriately combined.
[0031] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the aircraft engine described is a hybrid turbofan engine, but it is not limited thereto.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, an aviation hybrid electric propulsion thermal management system integrates the heat load of various power system components, fuel, and ram air heat sinks into a comprehensive manner. Based on a set control strategy and combined with changes in operating conditions, this application achieves efficient utilization of fuel and ram air heat sinks to remove system heat load, meeting the heat dissipation requirements of each system component. It identifies different operating conditions and automatically matches the optimal thermal management system structure according to the control strategy, realizing optimized thermal management control of the aviation hybrid propulsion system while minimizing additional weight and energy loss, and achieving coordinated heat transfer among system components.
[0033] Thermal management systems for hybrid-electric aircraft engines include hybrid liquid cooling cycle systems, lubricating oil cooling systems, and fuel thermal management subsystems.
[0034] The hybrid liquid cooling circulation system includes a battery 201, a controller 202, a motor 203, a lubricating fluid heat exchanger 204, a fuel-liquid heat exchanger 205, an air-liquid heat exchanger 206, a circulation pump 10, a coolant temperature sensor 101, and three-way valves, including a first three-way valve 1, a second three-way valve 2, a third three-way valve 3, a fourth three-way valve 4, a fifth three-way valve 5, and a sixth three-way valve 6. The coolant in the hybrid liquid cooling circulation system passes through the battery 201, the controller 202, the motor 203, and the lubricating fluid heat exchanger 204 successively through the circulation pump, absorbing the heat from these components. Then, it is cooled by the fuel-liquid heat exchanger 205 and the air-liquid heat exchanger 206 before re-entering the circulation pump 10 for circulation.
[0035] The lubricating oil cooling system refers to the hot return oil from the bearing cavities of a conventional engine being cooled by the lubricating fluid heat exchanger before returning to the lubricating oil tank; the fuel thermal management subsystem is where fuel from the aircraft fuel tank absorbs heat through the fuel-liquid heat exchanger 205 and then goes to the combustion chamber in whole or in part, with the remaining fuel returning to the aircraft fuel tank through the air-fuel heat exchanger 207. The fuel thermal management subsystem includes the fuel-liquid heat exchanger 205, the air-fuel heat exchanger 207, three-way valves including the seventh three-way valve 7, the eighth three-way valve 8, the ninth three-way valve 9, and the temperature sensor 102.
[0036] The coolant in the hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system can be, but is not limited to, water or water-glycol refrigerant. Typically, the operating temperatures of the battery, controller, motor, and engine lubricating oil system increase from low to high; therefore, in this application, the coolant flows sequentially from the battery to the controller, then to the motor, and finally to the engine lubricating oil system. The battery can be one or more battery packs connected in series or parallel; similarly, the controller and motor can be one or more controllers and motors connected in series or parallel. The motor can be a generator or an electric motor. The air-fuel heat exchanger and the air-liquid heat exchanger are arranged near the ram air inlet. The ram air inlet can be equipped with relevant air valves or flow channels to regulate the airflow. The first three-way valve 1, the second three-way valve 2, the third three-way valve 3, and the fourth three-way valve 4 will regulate the flow rate by bypassing the flow of components connected to them. For example, the first three-way valve 1 regulates the flow rate of coolant through the battery based on the internal temperature monitoring of the battery; the second three-way valve 2 regulates the flow rate of coolant through the controller based on the internal temperature monitoring of the controller; the third three-way valve 3 regulates the flow rate of coolant through the motor based on the internal temperature monitoring of the motor; and the fourth three-way valve 4 regulates the flow rate of coolant through the lubricating oil heat exchanger based on the lubricating oil supply temperature. The fifth three-way valve 5 and the sixth three-way valve 6 will regulate the flow rate based on operating conditions and the coolant temperature sensor 101; the seventh three-way valve 7 will regulate the flow rate based on operating conditions; the eighth three-way valve 8 will regulate the flow rate based on fuel demand; and the ninth three-way valve 9 will regulate the flow rate based on the fuel return temperature sensor 102. Machine learning and other artificial intelligence algorithms can be used for intelligent control of the three-way valves.
[0037] In some embodiments, this application provides a thermal management method, including the following steps: S100. Determine whether the aircraft engine is in the first, second, third, or fourth operating condition.
[0038] S201. In the first operating condition, the three-way valve regulates that fuel only goes to the combustion chamber. The air-liquid heat exchanger and the air-fuel heat exchanger do not work. The hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system dissipates heat through the battery, controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger, then through the fuel-liquid heat exchanger, before returning to the circulation pump. Specifically, it could be, for example... Figure 2Specifically, when the aircraft is stationary on the ground, there is less ram air and less fuel demand. The aircraft can then focus solely on fuel requirements. The eighth three-way valve 8 regulates fuel flow to the combustion chamber, shutting off the ninth three-way valve 9. Meanwhile, the sixth three-way valve 6 opens the bypass path, preventing the air-liquid and air-fuel heat exchangers from operating. The hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system, after passing through the battery, controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger, dissipates heat through the fuel-liquid heat exchanger before returning to the circulation pump. The first three-way valve 1, second three-way valve 2, third three-way valve 3, and fourth three-way valve 4 regulate flow based on the temperature of the components connected to them. The fifth three-way valve 5 and the seventh three-way valve 7 regulate flow based on the temperature readings from the coolant temperature sensor 101.
[0039] S202. If in the second operating condition, the fuel-liquid heat exchanger, air-liquid heat exchanger, and air-fuel heat exchanger are all in operation.
[0040] Specifically, for example Figure 3 As shown, during takeoff, climb, and descent, ram air increases, fuel demand is higher, and the hybrid heat load also increases. Both the fuel-liquid heat exchanger and the air-liquid heat exchanger need to operate. The aircraft's fuel supply can be increased as needed, therefore the air-fuel heat exchanger also operates as required. The hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system, after passing through the battery, controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger, dissipates heat through the fuel-liquid heat exchanger and the air-liquid heat exchanger before returning to the circulation pump. The first three-way valve 1, the second three-way valve 2, the third three-way valve 3, and the fourth three-way valve 4 will regulate the flow rate by bypassing the flow based on the temperature of the components connected to them. The fifth three-way valve 5, the sixth three-way valve 6, and the seventh three-way valve 7 will regulate the flow rate based on the operating conditions and the sensing results of the coolant temperature sensor 101. The eighth three-way valve 8 will regulate the flow rate based on the fuel demand, and the ninth three-way valve 9 will regulate the flow rate based on the fuel return temperature sensor 102.
[0041] S203. If in the third operating condition, the liquid fuel heat exchanger and the air-fuel heat exchanger do not work.
[0042] Specifically, for example Figure 4 As shown, during cruise operation, fuel demand is low, and the aircraft can prioritize fuel supply. The eighth three-way valve 8 directs fuel only to the combustion chamber, shutting off the ninth three-way valve 9. Meanwhile, the fifth and seventh three-way valves 5 and 7 open bypass paths, preventing the liquid-fuel heat exchanger and air-fuel heat exchanger from operating. The hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system, after passing through the battery, controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger, dissipates heat through the air-liquid heat exchanger before returning to the circulation pump. The first, second, third, and fourth three-way valves 1, 2, 3, and 4 adjust flow rates based on the temperature of the components connected to them, while the sixth three-way valve 6 adjusts flow rates based on the coolant temperature sensor 101.
[0043] S204. If in the fourth operating condition, the hybrid liquid cooling circulation system can achieve internal thermal equilibrium. After the hybrid cooling liquid absorbs heat through the controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger, it returns directly to the circulation pump and then provides heating to the battery to complete the entire cycle.
[0044] Specifically, for example Figure 5 As shown, under low-temperature operating conditions, the ambient temperature is low, and the battery needs to be heated and kept warm. The aircraft can only consider fuel demand when receiving fuel. The eighth three-way valve 8 regulates fuel flow only to the combustion chamber, shutting off the ninth three-way valve 9. The fifth three-way valve 5, the sixth three-way valve 6, and the seventh three-way valve 7 all open in bypass mode. The hybrid liquid-cooled circulation system can achieve internal thermal balance. The hybrid coolant absorbs heat through the controller, motor, and lubricating fluid heat exchanger before returning directly to the circulation pump, which then heats the battery, completing a full cycle.
[0045] The hybrid liquid cooling cycle system proposed in this application can also be further integrated with other aircraft subsystems. For example, it can be an aircraft environmental control and thermal management subsystem or an aircraft water supply system.
[0046] According to another aspect of this case, a computer-readable medium is also provided.

[0049] In addition, the thermal management system 2000 may also include a display module 2003 for displaying the status of the thermal management system, so that aircraft engine monitoring and maintenance personnel can be aware of the aircraft engine's operating status in a timely manner, or so that aircraft operators can be aware of the engine's operating status to help them pay attention to the engine's energy consumption. The display module 2003 can take various forms. For example, in an aircraft, the display module 2003 can be an instrument panel, a display screen, or even a head-up display (HUD) on the pilot's helmet. On the ground, the display module 2003 can be a computer screen, a mobile device screen, etc., for maintenance personnel.

For example, in an aircraft, the processor 2002 may be an electronic controller integrated into the engine, namely a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), further improving the integration of the thermal management system.
