HRE takes part in the development of the SELF Telescope with a high-precision cooling system
Progress in the exploration of the universe requires technological solutions capable of operating under extreme conditions and with absolute precision.
In this context, HRE Automation has taken part in the development of the SELF Telescope, a project promoted by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and developed together with AVS Added Value Solutions.
This telescope, designed to study exoplanet atmospheres and search for signs of life beyond the Solar System, requires extreme thermal stability to ensure the precision of its optical systems.
An invisible but critical challenge
The motors responsible for the movement of the telescope generate heat during operation. This heat can cause turbulence or condensation, directly affecting the behaviour of the mirrors and compromising the quality of observation.
To solve this challenge, HRE has developed a specific cooling system that guarantees thermal control at all times, even in high-altitude environments and extreme temperatures.
Fluid engineering applied to science
The solution developed by HRE consists of a closed-loop cooling unit with multiple pumps, heat exchangers and precise control of critical parameters, fully designed and validated at its own facilities.
This system makes it possible to maintain stable thermal conditions, ensuring the proper operation of the telescope and contributing to the overall reliability of the project.
Much more than hydraulics
Taking part in projects of this kind reinforces HRE’s positioning as a specialist in fluid engineering applied to highly demanding technological environments.
Because when precision is key, every detail matters.
