Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017030728
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated cooling system for a gas turbine engine and/or an aircraft.SOLUTION: A thermal management system 100 for a gas turbine engine and/or an aircraft is provided including a thermal transport bus having a heat exchange fluid flowing therethrough. The thermal management system 100 also includes a plurality of heat source exchangers 106 and at least one heat sink exchanger 108. The plurality of heat source exchangers 106 and the at least one heat sink exchanger 108 are in thermal communication with the heat exchange fluid in the thermal transport bus. The plurality of heat source exchangers 106 are arranged along the thermal transport bus and configured to transfer heat from one or more accessory systems to the heat exchange fluid, and the at least one heat sink exchanger 108 is located downstream of the plurality of heat source exchangers 106 and configured to remove heat from the heat exchange fluid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
