The Seeker is looking to dissipate extra heat from an electrical converter enclosed in a small space. The only inlet/outlet from the insulated space will be an electrical wire so the excess heat most likely will need to be converted to electricity to remove it. More details will be provided in the Challenge Description.
An electrical converter generates 6 kW of heat continuously, removed via a cold plate and liquid cooling loop to dissipate the heat outside the insulated compartment within which the converter is located. Changes in the system necessitate that 0.5 kW more heat needs to be removed from the converter along with a peak of another 0.5 kW periodically. The current liquid loop and cooling system has no more capacity/space to expand. The only new inlet/outlet to the insulated compartment is electrical wiring so heat most likely will need to be converted to electricity to remove it. Space within the insulated compartment for conversion from heat to electricity is limited.
