This FRP7 funded project is the world’s largest collaborative project for the research and development of nanofluid coolants, NanoHex comprises of a consortium of 12 leading European companies and research centres. The €8.3 million project has been funded by the Seventh Framework Programme grant, together with investment from the consortium themselves. Initially promoted by the Italian based research and development company ISIS R&D, in collaboration with European Industries and Universities, and using promising research results from previous works carried out by the consortium, NanoHex aims to develop and optimise safe processes for the production of high performance nanofluid coolants for use in industrial heat management. It will also endeavour to develop an analytical model that can accurately predict the thermal performance of such nanofluid coolants; something that has not yet been achieved.
