Thermal control system for an airborne electronics equipment pod

There are some electronic devices for use in aircraft within the electronic pod. Electronic devices in the pod should be between the specific temperature values. This devices emits heat. If the radiated heat is not taken with a cooling system, it prevents the electronic equipment to work. For this reason, heat dissipating equipment must be cooled. As a result of the cooling process, it is ensured that the electronic pod works under the desired conditions. In this study, an air cycle-operated cooling system is designed for the cooling of the electronic pod, which is used in airplanes and which supplies 5000 W of heat inside the equipment. Air cooled system is used for thermal control. The system does not receive any electrical power from the aircraft, but instead operates the system by driving the ram air received from the ram input during the flight of the required energy aircraft. The system which driven by ram air is contains ram air inlet, turbine, compressor, heat exchanger and pump. The temperature values of the electronic equipment, air inlet and outlet of the pod were examined at different elevations and aircraft speeds for the hot and cold days. It is determined that the air-cooled system can be used.
