Abstract: A downhole tool includes a component that may require thermal management and a thermostat. The thermostat is used to thermally couple or decouple the component from an environment of the downhole tool. The thermostat includes a first solid thermal conductor, a second solid thermal conductor, and an actuator mechanically coupled to the first and/or the second solid thermal conductor. The actuator is adapted to move the second solid thermal conductor relative to the first solid conductor in response to temperature.

Abstract: A wellbore tool includes a cooling section positioned within the tool for the purpose of maintaining the temperature sensitive components within their rated operating temperature range. The cooling section includes an evaporator, compressor, condenser, power device, expansion device. The compressor is positioned within the condenser. The components whose temperatures are to be maintained are in thermal contact to the evaporator. The cooling process is based upon the vapor compression cycle.
