Cooling System Of A Combat Vehicle, And Pressure Cascade For Cooling At Least One Electronic Unit In A Combat Vehicle By Means Of A Cooling System

Patent No. EP3292007 (titled "Cooling System Of A Combat Vehicle, And Pressure Cascade For Cooling At Least One Electronic Unit In A Combat Vehicle By Means Of A Cooling System") was filed by Rheinmetall Landsysteme on Apr 29, 2016. The application was issued on Dec 17, 2025.

Patent Summary

A combat vehicle comprising a chassis and at least one rotatable combat turret includes a cooling system for various zones, including operator workstations and electronic units (e.g., drive, control, and sensor electronics). The cooling plant, consisting of at least one compressor and liquefier unit and an air treatment apparatus, is installed within an externally accessible equipment compartment in the turret. Cooled air is distributed via a hose system of branched hoses. To enable cooling of chassis zones while maintaining turret rotation, the hose system incorporates joint parts arranged in the turret's axis of rotation. The system may utilize a pressure cascade within electronic unit installation spaces, potentially employing cooling fins, fans, or nozzles to optimize heat dissipation.
