THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
DRIVE
March 9, 2023
A thermal management system enables fluid coupling of the cooling circuits for the battery and the propeller arrangements. More than one propeller arrangement can be serviced by the same cooling circuit, but distribution of the coolant may be finessed. Optional pathways are provided to use heated coolant for heating (e.g., de-icing, cabin heating, etc.) before cooling the coolant. Fluid coupling of conduits between and/or within the cooling circuits provide redundancy to accommodate various faults and equipment malfunctions.
