HEATSELF
As part of this collaborative project, HEATSELF is a partner. The other partners are the company NICOMATIC, PME in Rhône Alpes and the CEA-LIST. AIRBUS-HELICOPTERS is a client who proposed specifications common to all players in aeronautics: fire detection. HEATSELF was consulted for its skills in the field of materials and for its work in the field of heat-sensitive materials. The need for aeronautics is the reliability and security of our planes and helicopters. The safety devices are linear thermal sensor type and are developed by an American company. Airbus wants Europe to have the skills to meet this need which is becoming more and more critical. The specifications therefore relate to the detection of a fire in a helicopter engine. HEATSELF will have to develop a temperature sensor cable capable of informing the pilot if there is a strong rise in temperature locally along this cable. The HEATSELF sensor cable will be associated with electronics called a reflectometry analyzer capable of communicating with the cable and translating the temperature of the cable sensitive to the temperature.
