CASE STUDY: A Chiller for Avionics System Testing

A U.S. defense contractor had requirements to test an avionics system for the next generation multi-role F-35 Lightning II, formerly the Joint Strike Fighter. (See Figure 1.)

The avionics on the plane were liquid cooled and the contractor's engineers needed to simulate in-flight conditions. They turned to Lytron for a compressor-based recirculating chiller, which provides precise temperature control and cooling below ambient temperature. One of the critical requirements was that the thermal solution be compatible with Polyalphaolefin (PAO), a synthetic hydrocarbon heat transfer fluid. PAO is often preferred in military liquid cooling applications due to its dielectric properties, wide operating temperature range, low corrosivity, low toxicity, and hydrolytic stability...
