Systems and methods for heat balance and transport for aircraft hydraulic systems

摘要

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.
