Abstract: A cooling system for an electronics cabinet includes a controller configured to operate at least one of a pump or a condenser of a two-phase cooling loop. The cooling system includes a high temperature mode where the setpoint is set to a high setpoint setting, and a low temperature mode where the setpoint is set to a low setpoint setting. The controller is configured to select between the high temperature mode and the low temperature mode based on an evaluation of a power outage.

Abstract: An electronics cabinet cooling system may include multiple cabinet heat exchangers mounted at an air discharge of respective different electronic cabinets. Heat from a flow of air heated by electronic components in the electronic cabinets may be received by respective cabinet heat exchangers. A liquid refrigerant flowing through the heat exchangers in parallel may be at least partially changed from liquid to gas and absorb the heat from the flow of air. A three-way tee in a common outlet header downstream from the cabinet heat exchangers may direct the gas refrigerant to a condenser and the liquid refrigerant to a receiver. The condenser may condense the gas refrigerant to liquid refrigerant, which may be routed to the receiver.

Abstract: Systems and methods for suppressing infrared radiation generated by a turbine engine. A system comprises a primary assembly having a center body, a plurality of vanes extending from the center body, an outer radial duct with the plurality of vanes extending therethrough, a structural baffle, and a mixer. The primary assembly is disposed in the exhaust flow path of a turbine engine and encased in ducting and/or an airfoil. An air flow path defined between the center body and outer radial duct is axially spit by an interface rim and flow segregator. The flow segregator segregates engine core flow from ambient air flow.
