  7. Motivation • Hybrid Thermal Energy Storage (TES) coolers for variable power MCM’s • Cooler sized for intermediate heat load • TES component stores/releases heat during high/low power operation • Smaller, simpler, less power consuming cooler, quieter • Utilize “dry” Phase Change Materials (latent heat) • g-load, orientation insensitive operation • Simple packaging • Passive, reliable (no moving parts) • Multi-functionality (TES + Structural) • Save space Wirtz
