Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An outer panel-mediated cooling system includes: an outer shell including an outer panel, an inner panel located inward of the outer panel, and a heat-insulating layer located between the outer and inner panels; a cooling chamber that is located between the outer and inner panels and in which a gas releases heat outside through the outer panel and is thus cooled; a circulation loop in which a heat medium circulates, the circulation loop including a heating section located inward of the inner panel to heat the heat medium and a cooling section located in the cooling chamber to cool the heat medium; a flow path-forming structure located in the cooling chamber to form a circulation path for the gas; and a fan located in the cooling chamber to exert a drive force on the gas to allow the gas to circulate in the circulation path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An outer panel-mediated cooling system for a transportation machine, comprising: an outer shell including an outer panel, an inner panel located inward of the outer panel, and a heat-insulating layer located between the outer and inner panels; a cooling chamber that is located between the outer and inner panels and in which a cooled gas releases heat outside through the outer panel and is thus cooled; a circulation loop in which a heat medium circulates, the circulation loop including a heating section located inward of the inner panel to heat the heat medium and a cooling section located in the cooling chamber to cool the heat medium; a flow path-forming structure located in the cooling chamber to form a circulation path for the cooled gas; and a fan located in the cooling chamber to exert a drive force on the cooled gas to allow the gas to circulate in the circulation path, wherein the cooled gas indirectly cools the heat medium passing through the cooling section, and the cooled gas and the heat medium are not mixed. 2. The outer panel-mediated cooling system according to claim 1 , wherein the flow path-forming structure is in the form of a heat insulator. 3. The outer panel-mediated cooling system according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling chamber is divided by a metal plate from a space located between the outer and inner panels and outside the cooling chamber. 4. The outer panel-mediated cooling system according to claim 1 , wherein the flow path-forming structure is a plate structure extending parallel to at least one of the outer and inner panels. 5. The outer panel-mediated cooling system according to claim 1 , wherein the flow path-forming structure is a plate structure orthogonal to at least one of the outer and inner panels.
