Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an aircraft thermal management system. The aircraft thermal management system includes a first hydraulic system for circulating a first hydraulic fluid, a second hydraulic system for circulating a second hydraulic fluid, and a third hydraulic system for circulating a third hydraulic fluid. The aircraft thermal management system also includes a controller configured to: (i) determine a temperature of the first hydraulic fluid, a temperature of the second hydraulic fluid, and a temperature of the third hydraulic fluid, and (ii) based on the determined temperature of the first hydraulic fluid, utilize the second hydraulic fluid and/or the third hydraulic fluid to modify an operational temperature of the first hydraulic fluid.
