DEVICE FOR DRYING OF SEALED COMPARTMENT AIR IN COSMIC APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: cosmic engineering; submarines; closed rooms with higher temperature and humidity. SUBSTANCE: device has casing with antechamber and fan, inlet and outlet branch pipes contacting each other, liquid heat exchanger, source of cold, condenser and wick, moisture collector, air-passage channels formed by wick, condenser, ends of cold source of liquid heat exchanger, and outlet channels formed by external surface of body of every liquid heat exchanger and internal surface of casing. Every outlet channel is provided with auxiliary wick made as plate inserted between internal surface of casing and external surface of liquid heat exchanger body and resting on main wick base with its ends. In this case, plate bottom and its part adjacent to external surface of liquid heat exchanger body are perforated. Device precludes moisture getting into compartment of cosmic apparatus. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 dwg
