Operation[edit | edit source]

During normal operation, the Heat Management System continuously monitors and regulates thermal conditions to maintain optimal temperatures within the propulsion and electrolysis systems. As heat is generated during propulsion maneuvers and electrolysis processes, it is quickly absorbed by the coolant circulating through the heat exchangers.

The coolant, now carrying thermal energy, is directed to the radiators, where heat is dissipated into the surrounding environment through passive or active cooling mechanisms. The control systems dynamically adjust coolant flow rates and activate additional cooling mechanisms as needed to prevent overheating and ensure stable operation.

In the event of an emergency or abnormal thermal conditions, the temperature sensors trigger automatic shutdown protocols to prevent damage to critical components and ensure the safety of the pilot and surrounding environment.
