Liquid Cooling Systems (LCS) serve a crucial function within the aerospace and defense industry. Electronic systems and components, such as radar, lasers, and high-performance computing systems, can generate excessive heat in their operations. LCS systems work by circulating a coolant, such as propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, or polyalphaolefin, around the components to absorb and dissipate heat. The coolant is then cooled down by a heat exchanger before being recirculated. This technology is particularly important in aerospace and defense applications due to the extreme operating conditions and the need for reliable, efficient cooling. The use of LCS enhances the performance and lifespan of electronic systems and contributes to the overall safety and success of missions.
In aircraft and military platforms, LCS proves to be critical for applications that need to manage high heat flux loads, have a significant distance between the heat source and sink, or require cooling in unpressurized environments. Bascom Hunter specializes in crafting bespoke LCS systems that utilize a range of fluids. These systems offer accurate temperature control with minimal thermal gradients. They are compact and highly reliable.
