Abstract
An electronics cooling system comprises a tubular fan duct and an electronics housing. The fan duct includes has a fan duct casing containing a fan with rotor blades and stator vanes. The electronics housing is mounted directly on the tubular fan duct, such that the electronics housing and the fan duct casing together enclose an interior space. A cooling airflow path extends from a high-pressure region of the tubular fan duct, through an inlet hole into the interior space, and out a bleed hole into a surrounding environment. The electronics cooling system further comprises three electronics mounts within the interior space. A first electronics mount is located immediately adjacent to the inlet hole, on the fan duct. A second electronics mount is located immediately radially outward of the stator vanes, on the fan duct. A third electronics mount is located immediately adjacent to the bleed hole, on the housing.
