Abstract
A container for containing underwater sensors such as sonar transceivers, sonar imaging devices, optical imaging devices, etc, electronic equipment and a cooling liquid for cooling the electronic equipment is connected to a second, variable volume container which acts both as a heat exchanger and as a pressure compensator for compensating the pressure difference between the cooling fluid and the surrounding water or other fluid.
Claims13
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first container for containing electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment is immersed in a liquid coolant, and wherein the apparatus is for immersing in water;
- a second container for transferring heat from the liquid coolant to the water, wherein the volume of the second container varies to compensate pressure differences between the liquid coolant and the water.
