CBOne is 12 years old!
On 27 March 2024, CBOne will have been in existence for 12 years, employing people and delivering products and services. It will have been 12 years that it has been, on its scale, an economic engine that runs smoothly.
Every year when we reach this time, I update the staff lists, the number of articles, the number of patents, and the budgets. We mark an anniversary, we're happy to count another year, and we keep score. We set the objectives for the following year, and move on.
Allow me for once not to talk about figures.
Project LIQORNE – a dependable LH2 fuel system
The world moves towards renewable, low emission fuels and this development includes aviation. Hydrogen enables clean, CO2-free combustion, but the stored liquid fuel needs to be cold – very cold. Temperatures lower than -252°C to be exact.
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)

ASME Turbo Expo 2023: Disruptive AM Geometries for Hydrogen Combustion
Nina Paulitsch and Fabrice Giuliani represent CBOne at the ASME Turbo Expo Conference in Boston, June 26-30, 2023.
This year, our contribution focus on new shapes for better burners, very promising for hydrogen applications.

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.
