The invention relates to an improved aircraft electronics cooling system for an aircraft having a liquid cooling system (2), the aircraft electronics cooling system providing a thermal coupling between an electronic device (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 42, 44) to be cooled and the liquid cooling system (2) o
The invention relates to an improved aircraft electronics cooling system for an aircraft having a liquid cooling system (2), the aircraft electronics cooling system providing a thermal coupling between an electronic device (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 42, 44) to be cooled and the liquid cooling system (2) of the aircraft. A coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system (2) may flow through a board of the electronic device (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d), through a heat sink on which the electronic device (42) is arranged and/or through a housing in which the electronic device (44) is arranged. The coolant may be permanently in the liquid state in a cooling circuit. The coolant may vaporize at least partially while cooling the electronic device.

1. An aircraft electronics cooling apparatus comprising: a liquid cooling system onboard the aircraft, including a coolant circulating therein;an electronic device to be cooled; anda heat exchanger including an intake conduit and a discharge conduit, the heat exchanger supplied with the coolant from the liquid cooling system,wherein the heat exchanger draws in warm air via the intake conduit, the warm air is then cooled by passing from the intake conduit through the heat exchanger, and the cooled air is then directed by the discharge conduit to pass the electronic device to be cooled to thereby cool the electronic device. 2. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a housing containing the heat exchanger and the electronic device to be cooled, wherein the heat exchanger is located below and spaced from the electronic device to be cooled. 3. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 2, wherein the housing further includes an inflow opening for air located below the heat exchanger and an outflow opening for air located above the electronic device to be cooled. 4. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 2, further comprising: a fan located within the housing and operable to generate air flow from the heat exchanger to the electronic device to be cooled. 5. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 4, wherein the housing further includes an inflow opening for air located below the heat exchanger and an outflow opening for air located above the electronic device to be cooled. 6. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 1, wherein the coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system is permanently in the liquid state in the cooling conduit. 7. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 1, wherein the coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system vaporizes at least partially in the heat exchanger. 8. The aircraft electronics cooling apparatus of claim 1, wherein the coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system is a dielectric liquid or an electrically non-conductive liquid. 9. A method for cooling an electronic device in an aircraft having a liquid cooling system and a heat exchanger, the method comprising: cooling a coolant in the liquid cooling system;delivering cold coolant from the liquid cooling system to the heat exchanger;drawing in warm air into the heat exchanger through an intake conduit;cooling the warm air passing through the heat exchanger with the cold coolant; anddirecting cooled air from the heat exchanger through a discharge conduit so as to pass the electronic device to thereby cool the electronic device. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein directing cooled air from the heat exchanger further comprises: blowing the cooled air with a fan through a housing containing the heat exchanger and the electronic device. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein cooling air passing through the heat exchanger further comprises: maintaining the coolant in a liquid state in the heat exchanger. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein cooling air passing through the heat exchanger further comprises: vaporizing the coolant in the heat exchanger. 13. A use of an aircraft electronics cooling apparatus as recited in claim 1 in an aircraft which delivers a coolant for cooling an electronic device in the aircraft by a cooling conduit. 14. The use of claim 13, wherein the coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system is permanently in the liquid state in the cooling conduit. 15. The use of claim 13, wherein the coolant delivered by the liquid cooling system is vaporized at least partially while cooling the electronic device. 16. An aircraft electronics cooling apparatus comprising: a heat exchanger; anda liquid cooling system onboard the aircraft, including a coolant circulating therein, the liquid cooling system also including a pump device and cooling devices, which are arranged in an under floor area of the aircraft and which supply the heat exchanger with the coolant,wherein through the heat exchanger flows the coolant and also air that is cooled therein by the coolant, andwherein the cooled air exiting the heat exchanger passes the electronic device to be cooled to thereby cool the electronic device.
