I-Airbus iseka iZiko loPhuhliso lweZero eJamani naseFrance

• I-Airbus igqibe kwelokuba iseke iZero-Emission Development Centres (ZEDC) kwiindawo zayo eBremen naseNantes.
• Injongo yeZEDC kukufezekisa iindleko zokwenza itanki ye-cryogenic ekhuphisanayo.
• Zombini iZEDC ziya kusebenza ngokupheleleyo ngowama-2023 ukwakha amatanki e-LH2 kuvavanyo lokuqala lwenqwelomoya olucwangciselwe u-2025.

I-Airbus igqibe kwelokuba ijolise kwimizamo yayo yeetanki zetsimbi zehydrogen kulungelelwaniso olongezelelekileyo ngokudala iZero-Emission Development Centres (ZEDC) kwiindawo zayo eBremen (eJamani) naseNantes (France). Injongo ye-ZEDC kukufezekisa iindleko zokuvelisa itanki ye-cryogenic ukuxhasa ukuphehlelelwa kwintengiso ye-ZEROe nokukhawulezisa uphuhliso lobuchwephesha be-hydrogen-propulsion. Uyilo kunye nokudityaniswa kwezakhiwo zeetanki kubalulekile ekusebenzeni kwenqwelomoya ye-hydrogen yexesha elizayo. 

Uphuhliso lobuchwephesha luya kugubungela imveliso epheleleyo kunye namandla emizi mveliso ukusuka kumacandelo aphantsi, indibano, ukudityaniswa kweenkqubo kunye novavanyo lwe-cryogenic yenkqubo yetanki lokugqibela le-hydrogen (LH2). Zombini iZEDC ziya kusebenza ngokupheleleyo ngowama-2023 ukwakha amatanki e-LH2 kuvavanyo lokuqala lwenqwelomoya olucwangciselwe u-2025.

Airbus ukhethe indawo yayo eBremen ngenxa yokuseta kwayo okungafaniyo kunye namashumi eminyaka amava e-LH2 kuKhuselo nakwiNdawo kunye neArianeGroup. I-ZEDC e-Bremen iya kuqala ijolise kufakelo lwenkqubo kunye novavanyo lwe-cryogenic yamatanki. Ngapha koko, le ZEDC izakuxhamla kububanzi bophando lwe-hydrogen ecosystem enje ngeCentre for Eco-Efficiency Materials and Technologies (ECOMAT) nakwizinto ezisebenzisanayo ezivela emajukujukwini nasemisebenzini yasemoyeni.

I-Airbus ikhethe indawo yayo eNantes ngenxa yolwazi lwayo olubanzi kubuchwephesha bentsimbi eyakhiweyo enxulumene nebhokisi yamaphiko embindi, kubandakanya netanki leziko elibaluleke kakhulu kwezokhuseleko kwiinqwelomoya. I-ZEDC eNantes iza kuzisa amandla ayo okulawula ngokulinganayo uluhlu olubanzi lwezinyithi, itekhnoloji edibeneyo kunye nokudityaniswa kunye namava ayo kwimisebenzi yokufaka ikhowudi kwiindawo ezingena nacelle, radomes nakwiziko le fuselage. I-ZEDC izakuxhamla kwizakhono nobuchule beNantes Technocentre, ixhaswe yinkqubo yendalo entsha enje nge-IRT Jules Verne.

Ngokuhambelana nomda wase-Jamani wase-Jamani kunye ne-Pays de Loire amabhongo, i-Airbus iya kukhuthaza intsebenziswano kumzi-mveliso ukuxhasa utshintsho lonke kubuchwephesha be-hydrogen-propulsion technology, kunye nezixhobo ezisisiseko ezisemhlabeni.

Itanki licandelo elibaluleke kakhulu kwezokhuseleko, apho kufuneka iinkqubo ezithile zobunjineli. I-LH2 icelomngeni ongaphezulu kune-kerosene kuba kufuneka igcinwe kwi--250 ° C ukuze inyibilike. Utywala luyafuneka ukwanda koxinano. Kwinqanaba lokubhabha ngenqwelomoya, umceli mngeni kukuphuhlisa icandelo elinokumelana nokuphinda-phinda ubushushu noxinzelelo xa uhamba ngenqwelomoya.

Kulindeleke ukuba izakhiwo zeetanki ze-LH2 ezikufutshane ekusetyenzisweni kweenqwelomoya ziya kuba sisinyithi, nangona kunjalo amathuba okwenziwa komsebenzi okunxulunyaniswa nokudityaniswa kwe-carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites ziphezulu.
