  • Spray cooling system for extreme environments
    Patent number: 7264042
    Abstract: A spray cooling system for extreme environments for providing a desired enclosed environment for electronic devices regardless of external environmental conditions. The spray cooling system for extreme environments includes an enclosure that isolates the electronic components from the external environment, a spray unit within the enclosure for thermally managing one or more electronic devices, a pump unit fluidly connected to the spray unit, a heat exchanger unit fluidly connected to the pump, and a control valve fluidly connected between the heat exchanger unit and the pump. An independent chamber preferably houses a heater unit, a first power supply and a control unit, whereby the heater unit initially heats the coolant within the independent chamber to a minimum operating temperature prior to operation of the electronic components.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2005
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2007
    Assignee: Isothermal Systems Research, Inc.
    Inventors: Charles L. Tilton, Chester L. Turner, William J. Beasley, Douglas W. Miller, William C. Gustafson
