    摘要: A multi-domain cooling assembly configured to be coupled with one or more heat sources includes a body having an outer surface and at least one cooling chamber disposed inside the body. The at least one cooling chamber extends in at least two orthogonal dimensions and includes a working fluid to extract thermal energy from the one or more heat sources. The assembly includes a cooling channel disposed within the body and fluidly coupled with a passageway that carries cooling fluid into and out of the cooling channel. At least a portion of the cooling fluid is a liquid phase, a gas phase, or a liquid-gas mix phase. The cooling channel is fluidly separate from the at least one cooling chamber. The cooling channel is thermally coupled with the at least one cooling chamber. The at least one cooling chamber transfers thermal energy from the working fluid to the cooling fluid.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for passively cooling an inverter subsystem within an enclosure. The method and system absorb heat generated by an inverter subsystem within an enclosure through a first heat spreader. The first heat spreader is thermally coupled to in the inverter subsystem and a first interior surface of the enclosure. The system and method transfer a portion of the heat from the first heat spreader to a second heat spreader through a plurality of heat pipes. The plurality of heat pipes are thermally coupled to the first heat spreader and the second heat spreader. The system and method further thermally couple the second heat spreader to a second interior surface of the enclosure.

    摘要: A cooling system includes a conduit extending from an upstream end to a downstream end and retains a gas. A heat exchanger is fluidly coupled with and disposed within a surface of the conduit. A portion of the gas is directed into the heat exchanger via one or more passages extending between the conduit and the heat exchanger, and a portion of the gas is directed out of the heat exchanger via the one or more passages. The heat exchanger directs cooling fluid in one or more directions within the heat exchanger along one or more passageways of plural passageways. The heat exchanger directs the portion of the gas in one or more directions within the heat exchanger along one or more other passageways of the plural passageways. The heat exchanger cools the gas by exchanging heat from the gas to the cooling fluid within the heat exchanger.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods of defining internal secondary structures of an object to be formed at least in part by additive manufacturing. The object may include a primary structure having a volume. The methods may include applying a balancing parameter within an axis-aligned bounding box that encompasses the primary structure. The methods may further include refining the balancing parameter until the volume is delimited into a plurality of the internal structures. The plurality of internal structures may be oriented at an angle to a global z-axis that is substantially parallel to a build direction, such as angled in a range of 40 degrees to 70 degrees to the z-axis.
