SIMULATED RADAR UNIT RT-345(XN-2)/APG-51 WITH THREE PHASE COOLING SYSTEM
Abstract
Simulated radar unit RT-345(XN-2)/APG-51, an insulated housing diffusion chamber for the radar unit and a simulated F4H compartment was designed, fabricated and tested in simulated flight environments up to Mach 3.2 at 75,000 ft. Optimum performance of the radar unit's manually controlled three-phase evaporative cooling system was determined, and insulated and uninsulated unit and compartment configurations are compared. The insulated radar in the uninsulated compartment presents the minimum combined insulation and cooling water weight penalty at the critical Mach 3.2, 75,000-ft condition. Only 2.71 pounds of water was required to cool the insulated radar unit dissipating 1145 watts for 15 minutes at the critical condition. (Author)
