Abstract

A thermal management system for removing excess heat from a heat source includes a condenser and an evaporator fluidly connected together within a cooling loop. A phase change material is positioned within the condenser. The phase change material is configured to melt with a liquid coolant warmed by the evaporator. The phase change material is also configured solidify with the liquid coolant cooled by the condenser to temperatures below the melting point.
