Mission
The goal of the Mechanically Pumped Fluid Loop (MPFL) project is to provide a Single-Phase Mechanically Pumped Fluid Loop to the European industry. The purpose of the project is to perform all design and development activities in order to qualify European single-phase cooling loop equipment (pump package, By-pass assembly, connectors and coolant fluid) that will be used within the AlphaBus single phase cooling loop system.
In particular, the MPFL fluid pump is the critcal for the successfull development of AlphaBus, which aims at an expected lifetime of 15 anos.

Case Study
Active Space Technologies participates is responsible for the thermal analysis of the fluid pump of MPFL, which is developed by Bleuler-Baumer Mechanik.
