Abstract
Passive on-board aircraft cooling systems are provided with an evaporator/receiver in heat-exchange relationship with at least one heat source on board the aircraft, the evaporator/receiver containing a liquid phase working fluid which changes state to a vapor phase working fluid in response to heat transfer therefrom from the at least one heat source. First and second condensers are fluid-connected to the evaporator/receiver for receiving vapor phase working fluid from the evaporator/receiver. At least a portion of the vapor phase working fluid transferred to the first and second condensers is condensed by heat transfer between the first and second condensers and aircraft-external unpressurized and aircraft-internal pressurized air supply streams, respectively, to thereby form liquid phase working fluid which returns to the evaporator/receiver by virtue of the fluid connection with the first and second condensers.
