CBOne’s Legacy by 2050, a Vision (ETC15 Conference Talk)
The horizon 2050 will mark the era of a non-fossil fuel economy. The women and men who work at CBOne today will work on this energy transition, and will therefore reach this objective towards the end of their careers. With this long-term vision in mind, here are the concrete actions that CBOne has undertaken so far.
CBOne participates to the 15th European Turbomachinery Conference in Budapest from the 24th to the 28th of April 2023.


We will have two talks:
- Project realHy: Plans for hydrogen experimental facilities for long duration tests at intermediate power. EVI-GTI session. Tuesday 25.4. @ 10h15.
- Project MOeBIUS: Recursive sequential combustion using a discrete sector approach. Thursday 27.04@17:00. Session A-12: ARIAS (Advance Research into Aeromechanical Solutions)

Project crystAIr - towards intelligent combustion
Flame or no flame? That is the question.
This very simple question should quickly find an answer. And an accurate one. Safety, process control, and emissions are at stake.
What was verified within tenths of a second with conventional fuels must be done faster with hydrogen. Besides: hydrogen is a flame that can hardly be seen with the naked eye.

In the framework of the FFG / Take-Off 2021 call, Joanneum Research GmbH has launched a project called crystAIr on the use of artificial intelligence to better monitor a flame. Piezocryst GmbH provides the sensors and Combustion Bay One is in charge of the experiments.

H2 next level: a LARGE fireplace!
CBOne is currently involved in the planning of large-scale hydrogen facilities.
The proposal is to develop a R&D infrastructure with polytechnic capacity to study hydrogen machines operating in the MW range, over long duration tests, as well as their aggregates. These facilities would of course be open to industry and academia, and we would be their key partner in accessing and manipulating them.

Combined Optic-Acoustic Monitoring of Combustion in a Gas Turbine (Journal Publication)
A compact, high temperature- and pressure-resistant probe was developed with success in the frame of the FFG / Take Off / emo(o)tion projects. This probe combines acoustic and optical sensors for a better description of the gas turbine combustion, in-situ.
The results of the probe are published in the International Journal of Turbomachinery for Propulsion and Power. The article is open access. The reference is:
