COOLANT CHARGING & DRAINING SYSTEM
Automated Ethylene Glycol Water (EGW) Charging and Draining Unit for Fighter Jets.
Modern fighter jets are equipped with cutting-edge radar systems that require highly efficient cooling solutions to maintain optimal performance. One such solution is an Airborne Liquid Cooling System that utilizes Ethylene Glycol Water (EGW) as a coolant to dissipate heat from electronic components in radar systems. However, the regular need to charge and drain the EGW, either frequently or as needed, demands a reliable and precise mechanism.
SANPAR has developed a fully automated EGW Charging and Draining Unit specifically designed for this application in fighter jets. This unit enhances the efficiency of the cooling system while ensuring that the process of charging and draining is smooth, accurate, and requires minimal manual intervention and ensure there is no airlock in the system.
Key Features of the Automated Unit:
-
High-Performance Pump:
The unit is equipped with a robust pump designed to handle the precise circulation of the Ethylene Glycol Water mixture, ensuring smooth flow and consistent pressure levels throughout the system.
-
Automated Solenoid Valves:
The system incorporates automated solenoid valves, which precisely control the flow of the coolant during charging and draining processes. These valves are electronically controlled and ensure the seamless operation of the system, eliminating the need for manual valve operation.
-
Hand Pump for Fine Pressure Tuning:
While the system is mostly automated, fine-tuning the pressure is sometimes necessary to meet specific operational conditions. To address this, the unit features a **hand pump**, allowing operators to manually adjust the pressure to achieve optimal performance.
-
Advanced Electronic Control System:
The unit is managed by an **electronic control system** that automates the charging and draining processes, monitors fluid levels, and ensures that all system components are functioning optimally. This control system improves overall operational efficiency and reduces the potential for human error.
-
Ease of Operation:
The fully automated nature of this unit drastically reduces the amount of manual labor required for coolant management. The system can perform frequent or as-needed charging and draining with minimal input from operators, ensuring more uptime for the radar systems in fighter jets.
