Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for heat balance and transport for aircraft hydraulic systems. A thermal management system includes a first hydraulic system for circulating a first hydraulic fluid at a first temperature and a second hydraulic system for circulating a second hydraulic fluid at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The thermal management system also includes a sealed heat transfer device coupled between the first hydraulic system and the second hydraulic system. The sealed heat transfer device is not in flow communication with either of the first hydraulic system and the second hydraulic system. The sealed heat transfer device is configured to transfer heat from the second hydraulic fluid to the first hydraulic fluid.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to thermal management, and more specifically, to systems and methods for balancing and transferring heat among hydraulic systems in aircraft. Background technique [0002] In at least some known aircraft, heat from one or more hydraulic systems is distributed into the fuel through a heat exchanger located inside the fuel tank. Other known aircraft do not have a hydraulic system heat exchanger, and when the external ambient temperature is above a predetermined threshold, the operation of the aircraft is restricted and restricted to address the heating of the hydraulic fluid. In addition, some known aircraft include thermostat control to selectively bypass the heat exchanger for hydraulic fluid, thereby maintaining heat and reducing pressure loss in the hydraulic circuit when the external ambient temperature is below a predetermined threshold. In addition, some known aircraft use the circulating flow of the hydraulic ...
