Abstract
A thermal management system includes a thermal circuit having a thermal transport bus with a thermal fluid flowing therethrough. The thermal transport bus includes first and second bus segments. First and second thermal loads are on the first and second bus segments, respectively, and have different first and second inlet temperature requirements. The thermal management system includes a plurality of heat exchangers in thermal communication with the first and second thermal loads. The heat exchangers include a first heat exchanger and one or more second heat exchangers. The first heat exchanger is on one of the first or second bus segments for rejecting heat to engine fuel. The thermal fluid is split between each of the first and second bus segments such that only a portion of the thermal fluid flows through the first heat exchanger to accommodate the different first and second inlet temperature requirements.
