Electronic Control Cooling System Design Study.
Abstract
The electronic control cooling system design program was conducted to develop a preliminary cooling system design for two aircraft/engine/mission configurations representative of the projected Air Force requirements for the 1980 time period. The program groundrules prohibited additional airframe/engine interfaces; therefore, consideration was given to only self-contained, engine mounted systems. Two cooling system concepts, an air cycle and a vapor cycle, were evaluated to ascertain the most attractive approach. Based on the results from trade evaluations, the air cycle system was selected. As part of this program effort, a preliminary mechanical design was prepared and the component requirements were analyzed to determine those components necessitating additional development to fulfill anticipated performance and durability demands.
