Abstract

A component cooling system (10) includes a component tank (14) configured to receive a heat-generating device (12). The component tank is at least partially- filled with a subcooled liquid (16) at a first pressure (Pl) and at a first temperature (Tl). A cryogenic system(24) maintains the component tank at essentially the first temperature. The cryogenic system includes a heat exchange (26) system thermally coupled with at least a portion of the component tank. The heat exchange system is at least partially filled with a second saturated liquid (28) at a second pressure (P2) and at essentially the first temperature. A cryostat tank (30) is f luidly-coupled with the heat exchange system and allows for pumpless displacement of the second saturated liquid between the heat exchange system and the cryostat tank.
