Blk 3 with liquid cooling arrangements
View attachment 776321
For any type of liquid cooling, you need the following:
1. Cooling system.
2. Pump
3. Piping to bring in cool liquid
4. Piping to bring out the warmed liquid.
We have seen just one single pipe here. Even the 3D model shows a single pipe going into the nose cone. Interestingly, that pipe which is supposed to be right below the frontal cockpit area isn't visible.
@The Eagle this is how hybrid solution would work. A SiC substrate layer would conduct heat away from the TRMs so there would ne no need for coolant to enter the nose cone. The back of the radar would be sticking behind the nose cone where the actual heat exchange would take place with the liquid. It is possible they found a way to do this with cooled air.
There is cooled air being provided to the cockpit for air conditioning. Did they diver some of that for cooling the radar? @messiach
You are trying too hard but that single pipe in 3d CAD is IFR outside the canopy not the cooling system pipe

If my memory serves me right, there was a post in this very thread that detailed the new cooling arrangement for Block 3, specially for AESA module by using the aircraft air conditioning / climate control system and rerouting the air to the nose cone area too.
Somehow I vividly remember that Pakistanis had a role to play in developing this cooling mechanism for B3. I hope my memory isn’t failing me on this.
Pretty sure the F- 16 's SABR uses the same arrangementIf my memory serves me right, there was a post in this very thread that detailed the new cooling arrangement for Block 3, specially for AESA module by using the aircraft air conditioning / climate control system and rerouting the air to the nose cone area too.

How much does one JHMCS cost?JHMCS is basically standard on All PAF F-16s apart from the ADFs. PAF purchased 60+ of those Iirc.
As per some reading.... 200k+ (platform dependent )How much does one JHMCS cost?
