The relationship between the Fahrenheit scale the Celsius scale, and the
Rankine and Kelvin scales.
Fahrenheit, oF = 32.0 + (9/5)oC ..... Celsius,
oC = (oF - 32.0)(5/9)
Rankine, oR = oF +460 ..... Kelvin, oK =
oC + 273

Military Specifications |
The world climate map shows the four basic climate regions as Hot, Basic, Cold, and Severe Cold.
Most of the worlds land masses are defined as Basic as defined by the DOD standard.
The map does not define the ocean regions, even though their shown as clear.
Definitions:
Ambient Temperature - Ambient temperature is the temperature
immediately surrounding the equipment.
Ambient Cooled Equipment - Ambient cooled equipment dissipates its
heat to its ambient environment (without ventilation induced by the
vehicle). Equipment containing fans or blowers to circulate ambient air
through the unit shall be classified as ambient cooled.
Design flow rate - Design flow rate is the minimum flow rate
necessary to maintain all components within the unit at specified
temperature requirements.
Forced (externally) cooled equipment - Forced cooled equipment is
that equipment designed to be cooled by gas, including air and ram air,
or liquid, supplied by the vehicle subsystems with sufficient pressure to
flow through the unit and remove the dissipated heat.
Sea level ambient pressure and temperature - Sea level ambient
pressure is defined as 14.7 psia + 5 percent. Sea level ambient
temperature is defined as 59oF +2oF
(15oC +1oC).
Stabilization - A stabilized thermal condition has been attained
when the indicated temperature of the component with the largest thermal
time constant varies at a rate less than 3.6oF
[2oC] per hour.
