Zusammenfassung:A cooling system (10) is provided for cooling an electrical component (12). The cooling system includes a supply (14) of liquid natural gas (LNG) and a heat sink (16) configured to be positioned in thermal communication with the electrical component. The cooling system also includes an LNG conduit (22) configured to be interconnected between the heat sink and the supply of LNG such that the LNG conduit is configured to carry LNG from the supply to the heat sink. A pump (20) is configured to be operatively connected in fluid communication with the supply of LNG. The pump is configured to move LNG within the LNG conduit from the supply to the heat sink.
