Abstract
Method and system for reducing a temperature differential across a flight vehicle. The system includes an exterior of the flight vehicle. The exterior of the flight vehicle includes a first exterior panel being at a first initial temperature and a second exterior panel being at a second initial temperature to define an initial temperature differential. A fluid loop, containing a working fluid, is coupled to the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel such that heat is transferred from the first exterior panel to the working fluid to decrease the first initial temperature of the first exterior panel to a first altered temperature, and to heat the working fluid. The heated working fluid is circulated from the first exterior panel and used to heat the second exterior panel to a second altered temperature greater than the second initial temperature.
