Custom Cooling Interface Systems |
TAI designs and fabricates custom cooling interface systems for cooling of critical system components for space, flight, and ground based applications. Below are examples of the systems that we have developed for past projects:
 Thermoelectric Cooler Interface

| 
Thermoelectric Cooler Interface
- Assembled interface system and incorporated packaging of radar resonator.
- Thermally isolating fiberglass supports (cylindrical vacuum housing not shown).
- Uses two thermoelectric coolers (TEC) to cool to 250° K.
- Demonstrated temperature stability of less than 0.001° K.

|
| 
Cross-Gimbal Optical Bench Cooling Interface
- Flexible cooling loop demonstrated 110° K on-gimbal cooling for 15 W heat load.
- Completed more than 73,000 full range gimbal cycles at operational temperature (equivalent 14-year on-orbit lifetime).
- Azimuth axis: –180° to +180° and return.
- Elevation axis: 0° to 90° and return.
- Additional testing conducted to demonstrate cooling over an operational temperature range from 75 K to 125 K using:
