MULTI-MODE COOLING FOR HEAT SOURCE

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250067515 titled 'MULTI-MODE COOLING FOR HEAT SOURCE

Original Abstract Submitted

a method of operation is provided during which heat energy is transferred into a first heat exchange fluid during a first mode of operation and during a second mode of operation. the first heat exchange fluid is directed through a first flowpath of a heat exchanger during the first mode of operation and during the second mode of operation. a second heat exchange fluid is directed through a second flowpath of the heat exchanger during the first mode of operation. at least some of the heat energy is transferred from the first heat exchange fluid into the second heat exchange fluid. a third heat exchange fluid is directed through a third flowpath of the heat exchanger during the second mode of operation. at least some of the heat energy is transferred from the first heat exchange fluid into the third heat exchange fluid.
