ABSTRACT:
A cooling system (18) for supplying an even distribution of cooling air within a payload chamber (14) of a launch vehicle is disclosed. The cooling system (18) includes an elongate duct (20), a diverter (22), and a plurality of partitions (24a, 24b, 24c . . . ). The diverter (22) is attached to a distal end (21) of the elongate duct (20) by the plurality of partitions (24a, 24b, 24c . . . ). A turning vane (26) integral with two of the plurality of partitions (24a, 24b, 24c . . . ) extends into the elongate duct (20) dividing part of the elongate duct (20) into two separate halves. Cooling air passes through the elongate duct (20) and strikes the diverter (22) which evenly distributes the cooling air within the payload chamber (14) of the launch vehicle.
