[1] _(e) _ State four methods by which avionics equipment can be cooled using Conditioning air. Cooling by convected air blown over the outside walls of the equipment boxes, (External air wash.) 2. Air blown through the boxes and over the printed circuit boards, (Directly force aic) 3 Air blown through a cold wall heat exchanger inside the box. (Indirect forced air.) hs Fans installed in the box to draw a supply of cooling air from the box surroundings. oims - 0% to draw a supply of cooling ai I) _( What are the two heat sinks used for ai borne aircraft cooling? Ram air and fuel [1] _() What are the disadvantages of ram air cooling? ~ It increases the aircraft drag because the resistance of e the scoop, pipework and the heat exchanger matrix slows down the ram airflow. - The ram air temperature increases with airspeed and soon exceeds the temperature required for cabin and equipment conditioning’ - Ram air is also a source of heating itself kinetic heating) - At high altitude the density becomes very low, reducing the ram air mass flow and hence its cooling capacity. : - When conditioning is required for systems which require cooling on the ground, ram air cooling alone is unsuitable. i tem (SAS)? the function of a stability augmentation syst a wale block diagram of a pitch rate damper system. ms - ¥ = = eer uy raster Heating itself (kinetic heating) - igh altitude the densi becomes very | rs cols caret ity TY low, reducing the ram air Mass flow and hence - When Conditioning is required for Systems which require Cooling on the ground, ram air Cooling alone is unsuitable.
