THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FUTURE VERTICAL LIFT AIRCRAFT

Abstract: a thermal management system for an aircraft includes a liquid loop, a vapor compression cycle loop, and an air loop. the liquid loop includes a pump to deliver a working fluid a cold sink for cooling a heat load with the working fluid. the vapor compression cycle loop is fluidly coupled to the liquid loop by a separator. the separator is configured to separate a two-phase form of the working fluid into a vapor form of the working fluid for delivery to a compressor of the vapor compression cycle loop and a liquid form of the working fluid for delivery to the liquid loop. the air loop in thermal communication with the working fluid and configured to provide a cooling or heating air for an aircraft cabin.
