Turbomachinery Problem Lab (PL "Turbomachines")
The company was founded in December 2010. The company's research priorities include the development of a promising auxiliary power unit and the development of a new generation of rotating heat exchanger, as well as improving the technology of micro-channel heat exchangers with turbulization of the coolant flow. At present, highly efficient heat and cooling machines with regenerative/regenerative thermodynamic cycle are being actively developed. High efficiency of heat exchange for two-phase media stands out against the background of progress in technology. This project has resulted in a thermodynamic efficiency of at least 40%.
The development of an auxiliary power plant is capable of solving existing problems of import substitution in aviation equipment. The project's know-how will include a dry-type transmission, which will eliminate the oil system and the standard transmission using rolling bearings. The specialists of the company have made a calculation showing that introduction of the new type of transmission will allow to reduce the number of parts of the aircraft by 30%, oil abandonment will increase the rotor speed up to 30-50 thousand revolutions per minute, will expand the system performance under climatic conditions.
In 2016, the PL "Turbomachines" team completed a three-year research and development project "Development of a pilot plant combining gas-dynamic and valve method of creating shock-wave structure oscillations", which is carried out within the framework of financing by the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises.
