The innovation of this project is to create an **alternative design framework for cold plates**. **Cold plates** are common devices allowing components such as battery packs and micro-electrical devices to **operate within tolerance**. They take high importance with the current conversion being seen in the aircraft industry towards electrification and hydrogen due to NetZero Regulation.The project will leverage multi-scale methods that are not present elsewhere. Designs will **improve performance**, in terms of thermal exchange and required pump pressure, over traditional "serpentine" designs being used by the industry.The project is also responding to lessons learned from previous collaborations regarding the challenges of designing topology optimized cold plates. It enables faster iteration which can be leveraged by airframers within their digital-twin framework to automatically re-design cold plates in response to changes elsewhere in the system. Coupling the small-scale response directly to the finite element integration nodes offers a **new and potentially much faster way to simulate fluid flow**.The project is collaborative: TOffeeAM, a SME and spin-out of Imperial College London (ICL) will collaborate with ICL to build the software and the new design.

该项目的创新是为冷板上的**创建一个替代设计框架**。 **冷板**是通用设备，允许电池组和微电动​​设备等组件**在公差内工作**。由于Netzerero调节，在飞机行业中看到当前的转换，他们非常重视。该项目将利用其他地方不存在的多尺度方法。设计将**改善性能**，在热交换和所需的泵压力方面，与该行业使用的传统“ Serpentine”设计相比，该项目还对从以前的合作中汲取的经验教训做出了响应，这些经验教训是关于设计拓扑优化冷板的挑战。它实现了更快的迭代，可以在其数字二线框架内通过飞行器利用，以自动重新设计冷板，以响应系统其他地方的变化。将小规模响应直接与有限元集成节点结合起来，提供了一种新的，可能更快的方法来模拟流体流**。该项目是协作的：Toffeeam，伦敦帝国学院（ICL）的中小企业和纺纱将与ICL合作，以构建软件和新设计。
