Abstract
An electronic flight bag computer (EFB) includes a housing defining first and second compartments that are fluidly isolated from and in thermal communication with one another. The first compartment contains electronic components connected to a user interface on an exterior portion of the housing for providing interactive flight related computation functions to a user. The second compartment contains a forced convection cooling component in thermal communication with the electronic components. The forced convection cooling component directs a flow of cooling fluid into the second compartment to convey heat produced by the electronic components out of the housing, such that the cooling fluid in the second compartment remains fluidly isolated from the electronic components in the first compartment of the housing.
