AMETEK Pacific Design Technologies delivers high-performance liquid cooling systems and pumping solutions engineered for the most demanding military environments. Our systems are trusted on airborne, ground, and naval platforms to maintain precise thermal control for critical electronics and propulsion components. Every product is qualified to stringent military standards for environmental extremes and electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring dependable operation under harsh conditions.
At the core of every liquid cooling system is the pump, and PDT engineers each unit for exceptional reliability and performance. Our designs
address and eliminate the common failure points found in conventional pumps, ensuring long-lasting, dependable operation.
No Bearing Wear
PDT uses hydrodynamic journal bearings that operate with zero metal-to-metal contact, virtually eliminating wear and extending service life for decades.
Seal-less Construction
By integrating the motor into the wetted section, PDT removes dynamic shaft seals, eliminating leakage risks and improving overall system integrity.
Field-Proven Durability
These innovations have been validated through rigorous testing and real-world deployments, including pumps that have operated for over a decade in extreme environments.
Solutions for Military Platforms
Integrated Cooling Systems
We design palletized liquid cooling systems that combine the pump, accumulator/reservoir, heat exchanger, filters, and control valves into a single, packaged unit. These assemblies come pre-engineered for easy installation and are fully tested as an integrated system. PDT Model 5530 is an integrated cooling pallet uniting pump, accumulator, heat exchanger, filter, and sensors into one line-replaceable unit for a military surveillance aircraft.
Existing Thermal Management Components
In addition to proven thermal management systems, PDT has fielded numerous thermal management discrete subcomponents, designed to customer specifications. PDT existing solutions cover a myriad of power formats, fluids, performance points and sizes. All of PDT’s existing thermal management component solutions have proven reliability in military environments.
