TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: applicable mainly in space vehicles in space conditions, where there is a necessity to maintain the preset temperature conditions both of the whole space vehicle, and of individual members. SUBSTANCE: the system has a heat-transferring device made in the form of radiating thermal tubes, having a contact assembly in the form of a sealed chamber, enveloping the sections of each thermal tube, in addition, the device has at least one contact assembly enveloping the evaporation sections of each thermal tube successively interconnected by duct for heat-transfer agent, the duct for heat-transfer agent is made in the form of two parallel lines - supply of vaporized refrigerant and discharge of liquid refrigerant, the cavities of each of the above lines communicate in succession with the cavities of the sealed chambers of each thermal tube in the opposite zones, inserted in each sealed chamber is a throttling device through which the duct for supply of vaporized refrigerant communicates with the chamber interior. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of the temperature control system as far the increase of its capacity is concerned due uniform distribution of temperatures over the surface of the radiating radiator, as well as reduction of power consumption by the system due to reduced pressure loss of the heat supply circuit. 1 dwg
