    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for controlling a temperature of a computer disposed in an enclosed compartment of a vehicle. The system includes at least one temperature sensor associated with the computer, the at least one temperature sensor for providing temperature data in connection with the computer to a control module; at least one air vent provided in a surface of the enclosed compartment, wherein the at least one air vent is positioned to direct air flow to a designated area of the computer; an air conditioning system for generating air at an air temperature specified by the control module based at least in part on the temperature data provided by the at least one temperature sensor; and at least one duct for conducting the air generated by the air conditioning system into the enclosed compartment via the at least one vent.

    摘要: A vehicle refrigeration system according includes a first chiller including a refrigerant fluid path and a coolant fluid path. A second chiller includes a refrigerant fluid path, a coolant fluid path, a first chiller coolant inlet, a second chiller coolant inlet, a first chiller coolant outlet, and a second chiller coolant outlet. A refrigerant control block includes outer walls providing openings in fluid communication with control block refrigerant fluid paths. The openings include a first chiller control block outlet and a second chiller control block outlet. The first chiller receives refrigerant flowing out of the first chiller control block outlet and into the first chiller refrigerant fluid path. The second chiller receives refrigerant flowing out of the second chiller control block outlet, through the first chiller, and into the second chiller refrigerant fluid path.

    摘要: Example embodiments relate to an air cooling system for an electronic spinning assembly. An example embodiment includes a plurality of vanes coupled to a static base. A vane cover is rotatably coupled to the static base. The vane cover at least partially encloses the plurality of vanes. Additionally, the vane cover is coupled to an electronic spinning assembly and configured to rotate with the spinning assembly. The vane cover further includes at least one air inlet configured to act as an air intake for an airflow, at least one air duct extending from the vane cover and configured to direct the airflow, and at least one choke point disposed in the cover. The at least one choke point is configured to increase a pressure of the airflow.
