1. A window assembly for an aircraft, comprising:
- a pressure pane;
a bezel proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defining an inner opening, the bezel including an inner wall with a channel;
an electro-optic element disposed in the inner opening and configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall, the electro-optic element being capable of operation between a transmissive condition and a dimmed condition;
a dust cover proximate the bezel, the dust cover including an interior substrate and an exterior substrate, wherein the interior substrate and the exterior substrate generally define a gap therebetween; and
a thermally absorbent liquid disposed in the gap.

Abstract
An aircraft window assembly includes a pressure pane. A bezel is proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defines an inner opening. The bezel includes an inner wall with a channel. An electro-optic element is disposed in the inner opening and is configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall. The electro-optic element is capable of operation between a transmissive condition and a dimmed condition. A dust cover is proximate the bezel. The dust cover includes an interior substrate and an exterior substrate. The interior substrate and the exterior substrate generally define a gap therebetween. A thermally absorbent liquid is disposed in the gap.
