  1. Foreword • Incorporation of a heat storage capability in the temperature control system of an electronic module having a variable heat dissipation rate will allow for a smaller, less-power-consuming module cooler and better temperature stabilization. • Materials formulated to undergo phase transition at key temperatures can provide this load-leveling capability via the latent heat effect.

  7. PCM Options • Non-metallics have low thermal conductivity (thermal diffusivity). • S-L PCM’s  liquid containment problems (provision for volume expansion) • Salt Hydrates absorb water (they are also corrosive) • Metallics  mass penalty

  8. PCM Options • Solid - Solid Materials • Organic Compounds, Metallic Oxides, Encapsulated S-L PCM’s • Latent heat comparable to S-L PCM’s • Packaging is easier • Performance insensitive to cooler orientation or g-loading

  9. Solid - Solid PCM-based Heat Exchangers • Passive Heat Storage Mechanisms (all) • High-Performance (thermally conductive solids or high-heat-flux convection and radiation surfaces) through metalization. • Near Ambient Operating Temperatures, -30oC - +188oC (0oC - 100 oC). • Inexpensive Net-Shape Manufacture Resulting in Complex Heat Exchanger Shapes • Aerospace environment (operation is independent of ambient pressure or system orientation). • Heat exchangers that are Insensitive to Load Variations

  24. Heat Transfer ModelCalibration Ttr = 83oC, Ttr = 6oC, q1/qinit= 2 C” = 45 watt/m2oC gives “best fit” of base temp. response.

  25. Parametric StudyStabilization/Recovery Times C” = 45 watt/m2oC, Ttr = 83oC, Ttr = 6oC q1/qinit = 1.5 q2/qinit = 0.5

  26. Parametric StudyHeating Rate C” = 45 watt/m2oC, Ttr = 83oC, Ttr = 6oC • Increase in q1/qinit results in: • increased operating temperature • decreased ts • little impact on tr

  27. Parametric StudyPCM Conductance Ttr = 83oC, Ttr = 6oC Increase in C” results in: reduced operating temperature relative to Ttr reduction in ts and tr

  28. Parametric StudyTransition Temp Interval C” = 45 watt/m2oC, Ttr = 83oC Increase in the transition temperature interval, Ttr results in poor temperature control.

  29. Dimensional AnalysisHeating “The temperature stabilization time (ts) is inversely proportional to the incremental change in input power: (q1-qinit) Dimensional Analysis: Where s is a characteristic of the system

  30. Dimensional AnalysisCooling “The temperature recovery time (tr) is inversely proportional to the decrement in input power below qinit, (q2-qinit) Dimensional Analysis: Where r is a characteristic of the system

  31. Hybrid Figure of Merit C” = 20 watt/m2oC, Ttr = 81oC, Ttr = 1oC s = r = 17 min The hybrid cooler’s figure of merit,  can (in principal) be measured with a single experiment.

  32. Conclusions • Incorporation of a “dry” PCM allows for a simple, rugged design. • A simple performance model based on lumped-mass elements contains essential system characteristics. • Semi-empirical • The transient response of the hybrid cooler can be characterized by 
