Two-Phase Electronics Cooling for Vehicle Applications

Replacing many of the traditional mechanical power and control systems with electronic equivalents will enable significant improvements by reducing weight, lowering fuel usage, increasing design flexibility, and enhancing overall functionality. This trend is apparent in “drive-by-wire” and “fly-by-wire” system designs. The past few iterations of Army vehicle programs have focused on increasing the use of electrical systems throughout the vehicle for many of the same reasons. Some of these programs have focused on new fully hybrid vehicles, while others have looked at improvements that can be made to legacy systems.
