ISR Ships SprayCool High Reliability Aft Power Supply for Flight Testing.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CLARKSTON, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2003 ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) Software routine that is executed in response to an interrupt. has shipped the first SprayCool(TM) Aft Power Supplies (SC-APS) to be flight tested in the Navy's EA-6B Prowler aircraft. Delivery of this unit marks a major milestone for ISR and its revolutionary SprayCool Technology, furthering SprayCool for tactical aircraft applications. "The demonstration of SprayCool technology in the EA-6B represents a significant enabling technology for the deployment of advanced airborne electronics and will serve as a proving ground for other Navy aircraft needs," said Captain John Scheffler, the NAVAIR NAVAIR Naval Air Systems Command EA-6B program manager. The new SprayCool APS demonstrates the successful application of evaporative spray cooling in a tactical aircraft environment. "The SC-APS operated trouble-free during flight simulation testing including launch-and-landing, air turbulence and flight acceleration simulations," said Rich Woodruff, TPOC TPOC Travel Professionals of Color TPOC Therapeutic Paws of Canada (Hawkesbury, ON, Canada) TPOC Technical Proof of Concept TPOC The Pillars of Creation (Terry Goodkind book) for NAVAIR's SBIR SBIR Small Business Innovation Research (program/grant) SBIR Space Based Infra-Red SBIR Speaker-Boundary Interference SBIR Site Backsurface-referenced Ideal Plane/Range (silicon wafers) contract that produced the new power supply. SprayCool technology also raises the bar for dealing with extremely high heat density. The SC-APS could handle 6 to 10 times the heat generated by the legacy air-cooled version. "The door has been opened to the application of high performance, highly reliable electronics in tactical aircraft," Mr. Woodruff added. In a step beyond the legacy power supply, the new SC-APS can operate without cooling air for one hour, a feature which will greatly simplify the task of performing ground diagnostics and maintenance while eliminating the need for additional ground support equipment. The end-result is added confidence, prior to take-off, that the Prowler will meet its mission requirements, all in a package that is 10% lighter than the legacy unit. Signal Technology Corporation's Keltec Division, ISR's subcontractor on this effort, was integral in the design of the SC-APS. The power supply modules are designed and packaged for SprayCool using Commercial Off-the-Shelf Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) is a term for software or hardware, generally technology or computer products, that are ready-made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public. (COTS) components without heat sinks, taking full advantage of the COTS viability and weight reduction benefits of SprayCool technology. The SprayCool system is designed to ease Prowler maintenance in a lighter, more reliable and lower cost enclosure for NAVAIR.
