Clean tech company HyFlux is collaborating with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) to create a groundbreaking cryogenic cooling system designed specifically for hydrogen-electric aircraft.
HyFlux will be overseeing project delivery, system architecture, and commercial strategy. The AMRC will support the engineering validation and integration, while the Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems, IAAPS, part of the University of Bath, will provide the test infrastructure to qualify the performance of the cooling system under realistic hydrogen conditions.
HyFlux and the AMRC will work together to create novel designs for the cooling system components such as the heat exchanger.
The project will also draw on expertise from Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems, utilizing its globally-recognized liquid hydrogen (LH2) test facility to complete ground-based validation of the cryogenic cooling system.
This program strengthens HyFlux’s growing portfolio of propulsion technologies and supports its broader roadmap to decarbonize both aerospace and maritime transport through scalable hydrogen-electric systems.
