PASSIVE CAPILLARY PUMPED DIPHASIC LIQUID CIRCULAR HEAT CONTROL UNIT WITH HEAT PERFORMANCE

摘要

The thermal control device comprises at least one capillary pumped diphasic fluid loop, comprising, in a known manner, an evaporator extracting the heat from a so-called hot source and connected via a vapour pipe to a condenser in which the condensation of the fluid vapour releases thermal energy transmitted to a so-called cold source, the condenser being connected via a liquid pipe to the evaporator, and the device moreover comprises at least one thermal capacitor in permanent heat exchange relationship with liquid phase fluid in said at least one diphasic fluid loop. Use in particular with space vehicles such as satellites.
