Description / Abstract:
This publication is applicable to liquid cooling systems of the
closed loop type and the expendable coolant type in which the
primary function is transporting of heat from its source to a heat
sink. Most liquid cooling system applications are oriented toward
the cooling of electronics. Liquid cooling techniques, heat sinks,
design features, selection of coolants, corrosion control, and
servicing requirements for these systems are presented. Information
on vapor compression refrigeration systems, which are a type of
cooling system, is found in Reference 1.
Purpose:
The purpose of this Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to
provide guidelines for the selection and design of airborne liquid
cooling systems.
