A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPOT-COOLING OF AIRCRAFT ELECTRONICS

摘要

A spot-cooling system including an electroactive polymer actuator (425), an enclosure (210; 410) defining an internal cavity, and a port (250) in the enclosure (210; 410) is described herein. The electroactive polymer actuator (425) may be configured to draw air into the enclosure (210; 410). The electroactive polymer actuator (425) may be configured to force air from the enclosure (210; 410). The electroactive polymer actuator (425) may comprise a corrugated electroactive polymer actuator. The electroactive polymer actuator (425) may comprise a plurality of layered electroactive polymer actuators.
