THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system is disclosed. The system includes a thermally conductive enclosure bounding an interior cavity, a metallic cell wall structure disposed within the cavity, in thermal communication with the enclosure, and defining a plurality of cells, and a phase change material disposed within the cells and in thermal communication with the cell walls. The plurality of cells have a cell width less than about 5 millimeters, and the cell wall thickness of the cell wall structure is in a range from about 0.25 millimeter to about 1 millimeter.

1. A system comprising:
a thermally conductive enclosure bounding an interior cavity, wherein at least a portion of the thermally conductive enclosure comprises a hollow and hermetically sealed structure enclosing a liquid and a wick structure; and a metallic cell wall structure disposed within the interior cavity and in thermal communication with the thermally conductive enclosure, wherein the metallic cell wall structure comprises:
a plurality of cells, wherein each cell comprises cell walls defining a cell volume, a cell width less than about 5 millimeters, and a cell wall thickness in a range from about 0.25 millimeter to about 1 millimeter; anda phase change material disposed within the cells and in thermal communication with the cell walls.
