Abstract

Spray cooling has demonstrated advantages in the thermal control of avionic devices. In this study, a spray cooling system is established using liquid nitrogen (LN2) as a working fluid to investigate the effect of heat transfer characteristics on a large heating surface. The temperature response measurement and experimental analysis of the heating surface of a large-area shell structure under the boundary conditions of different heat flux and temperature regions were carried out. The temperature response curves for the outer surface of the shell structure from the initial temperature to the set temperature were obtained under different heat flows and temperature zones. The results show that the thermal response time of the surface spray phase cooling is less than 2 s, the stability time for the cooling temperature of the covering layer is longer than 60 s, and the cooling state can be maintained for 30 min under different working conditions. This study can provide a technical reference for the application of spray systems in the field of aircraft cooling.
