Protective enclosure for data storage
A data storage enclosure for storing data on digital storage media has a lid that secures to a base. The enclosure has an upper insulating block that is located adjacent the lid and a lower insulating block that is located in the base. Each insulating block has a corresponding cover that overlays and protects its respective block. A storage unit has outer thermal management layers and a center layer located therebetween. The thermal management layers each contain a corresponding heat absorber that absorbs energy and changes from solid to liquid as the temperature of the storage unit begins to rise to excessive temperatures. The center layer contains a digital storage drive that is connected to a flexible cable that is connected to a sacrificial connector. When assembled, the insulating blocks and covers constrain and hold the storage unit and flexible cable.

Cooling device
An evaporator includes: a first surface which conducts heat; a heat medium in the evaporator, which vaporizes as a result of the heat absorbed; a condenser which liquefies the heat medium in a vaporized state; a vapour pipe which guides the heat medium in the vaporized state from the evaporator to the condenser; and a liquid pipe which guides the heat medium in a liquefied state from the condenser to the evaporator. A first opening of the vapour pipe and a second opening of the liquid pipe are disposed in different positions from each other in a first direction, and are disposed so as to open into a heat medium accommodation space inside the evaporator at different positions from each other in a second direction, and which is different to the first direction, and also at different positions from each other in a third direction which intersects the first surface.

The cooling system includes: a first set of fans mounted on an inward-facing side of an air inlet on an outer shell of a case; a second set of fans mounted on an inward-facing side of an air outlet on the outer shell of the case, for generating, in cooperation with the first set of fans, a high-pressure airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet; a first heat sink connected to heat generating component in the case, for absorbing heat from the heat generating component and transferring the absorbed heat to a second heat sink; and the second heat sink mounted on an inward-facing side of the second set of fans and cooled by the high-pressure airflow.
Systems and methods for cooling electronics and electrical machinery in a hybrid electric aircraft
Systems and methods for cooling electrical components disposed in a jet engine. An example system includes an evaporation chamber configured to contain the electrical components in contact with a coolant liquid. The coolant vapor formed during the heat transfer from the electrical components to the coolant liquid flows to a condenser assembly having a fuel-cooled condenser and an air-cooled condenser. The air-cooled condenser cools the coolant vapor to condensation using either fan stream air or engine bleed air from the intermediate pressure compressor or the high pressure compressor. An air cycle machine cools the engine bleed air. A controller may be used to select a coolant source for condensing the coolant vapor based on operating conditions of the aircraft. Spent air from the air-cooled condenser may be recycled back to the engine for engine cooling, added thrust, oil sump buffering, oil or fuel cooling, or blade tip clearance control.

A heat-transfer component defines a thermal-interface surface and has a metallic thermal-interface material bonded to the thermal-interface surface. The metallic thermal-interface material has a solid-to-liquid phase-change temperature between about 60 C. and about 90 C.
