Patent number: 8522861Abstract: A cold plate assembly is provided having a cold plate with a generally planar member that provides a support surface. The support surface is configured to support a heat generating device. A structural member provides attaching features that are configured to secure the cold plate assembly to a support. The cold plate is secured to the structural member by a braze material. In one example, the cold plate assembly is manufactured by arranging multiple sheets with a first braze material provided between the sheets. The multiple sheets comprise a cold plate. The braze material is heated to mechanically join the multiple sheets to one another and the cold plate to the structural member.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International, Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Zaffetti, Edmund P. Taddey

Publication number: 20110232887Abstract: A cold plate assembly includes a sheet having an aperture. A fluid port includes a body having a passage. A flange extends from the body and is secured to the sheet with a material. The passage and the aperture is in fluid communication with one another. The cold plate is manufactured, for example, by arranging multiple sheets relative to one another with a first material provided between the sheets. A fluid port is arranged on one of the multiple sheets with the passage in the fluid port in fluid communication with the aperture in at least one of the multiple sheets. A second material is provided between the fluid port and at least one of the multiple sheets. The fluid port and the multiple sheets are secured to one another with the first and second materials by a method, such as brazing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2010Publication date: September 29, 2011Inventors: Mark A. Zaffetti, Natalia Chabebe, Michael B. Laurin, Edmund P. Taddey

Patent number: 7779644Abstract: An ECS system includes an ACM mounted adjacent an air-liquid heat exchanger through a diffuser that contains a diffuser plate. The diffuser plate receives airflow from the ACM which strikes the diffuser plate and flows radially outward and around the diffuser plate and into the air-liquid heat exchanger to provide minimal pressure loss and proper flow distribution into the air-liquid heat exchanger with significantly less packaging space.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Angelo A. Decrisantis, James R. O'Coin, Edmund P. Taddey

Patent number: 6994738Abstract: A snow filter for an airplane cabin air supply system is provided with a coned inlet screen which allows some air to pass through and some snow to be retained. The coned configuration diverts much of the air and snow toward a downstream conical retaining and collecting screen positioned toward the outlet of the snow filter. Snow is retained and collected at this point while air is able to pass through the screen. Downstream of the coned inlet screen and upstream of the conical retaining and collecting screen is an open air flow mid-portion that enables tortuous flow of air as the snow is directed toward the conical retaining and collecting screen in an annular collection volume. The outlet of the snow filter is provided with a contact sleeve that allows the snow filter to be fittingly received by a surrounding corresponding air duct. Thus a snow filter is provided that effectively separates snow from a flow of air while maintaining a clog-free path.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Hamilton SundstrandInventors: Edmund P. Taddey, John A. Schwemmer, Mark L. Harris, Robert A. Premont
