Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for cooling an engine damper, including converting a gas to a liquid, and cooling an engine damper by passing the liquid through a tube portion located between fan air flow and the engine damper.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- an engine damper;
- a temperature control system comprising at least one fan and plural hoses that enable closed loop fluid flow, wherein at least a portion of a first hose of the plural hoses is proximal to an outward face of the engine damper and disposed between the at least one fan and the engine damper, the system configured such that, in use, air flowing from the fan over an exterior of the at least a portion of the first hose is cooled, thereby reducing the air temperature around the engine damper.
A method for cooling an engine damper, comprising:
- converting a gas to a liquid in a temperature control system comprising at least one fan and plural hoses that enable closed loop fluid flow, wherein at least a portion of a first hose of the plural hoses is proximal to an outward face of an engine damper and disposed between the at least one fan and the engine damper;
- and
- reducing an air temperature around the engine damper by passing the liquid through the at least a portion of the first hose such that air flow from the at least one fan is cooled as it passes over the exterior of the at least a portion of the first hose, reducing the air temperature around the engine damper.
