  • Heat exchanger rib for multi-function aperture
    Patent number: 11962062
    Abstract: Phased array antennas, such as a multi-function aperture, are limited in performance and reliability by traditional air-cooled thermal management systems. A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through channels within the ribs of the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooled systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
    Inventors: William E. Rhoden, Anders Walker, David Cripe, Ross Keith Wilcoxon, Jeremiah Wolf
  • Fuel cooled multi-function aperture
    Patent number: 11873073
    Abstract: Phased array antennas, such as a multi-function aperture, are limited in performance and reliability by traditional air-cooled thermal management systems. A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through heat exchangers that surround the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooling systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.
