Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A heat sink is used to absorb heat produced by a vehicle. The heat sink uses an endothermic catalytic alcohol dehydrogenation reaction to assist with the absorption of excess heat produced in the electronics of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the alcohol can be pre-heated by absorbing heat from various components of the vehicle. Excess heat from the various components or from the vehicle engine can be used to vaporize the reaction fluids in order to further absorb additional heat. Reaction fluids can also be sent to the vehicle's engine/burner for use as a supplemental fuel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An apparatus for use as a catalytic alcohol dehydrogenation heat sink for a mobile vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a first vessel operable to have a volume of alcohol contained therein; a second vessel operable to have a volume of jet fuel contained therein; a heat source comprising onboard electronics for generating heat; a reaction zone in fluid communication with the first vessel and in thermal communication with the heat source; a burner in fluid commun…
