Abstract (en)

[origin: US2009101311A1] According to one embodiment, a cooling system for a heat-generating structure includes a first cooling loop that directs a flow of a first fluid coolant from a heat-generating structure to a first heat exchanger. The system also includes a second cooling loop that directs a flow of a second fluid coolant from the first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger receives thermal energy from the first fluid coolant and transfers at least a portion of the thermal energy to the second fluid coolant. The first fluid coolant has a specific heat and a mass flow rate, and the second fluid coolant has a specific heat and a mass flow rate. A product of the specific heat and the mass flow rate of the first fluid coolant is greater than a product of the specific heat and the mass flow rate of the second fluid coolant.
