SPACECRAFT REGENERATIVE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G1/48 A62B11/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to regenerative physical-chemical maximum closed life support systems of crews of durable spacecraft. Regenerative system comprises habitable module, system to remove harmful impurities, system to remove carbon dioxide including adsorbent and heaters, carbon dioxide concentrator including adsorbent, and carbon dioxide and hydrogen processing system including heaters. Besides it comprises water electrolytic decomposition unit, solid and liquid wastes recovery unit, metabolic water collector and wastes collector. Note here that carbon dioxide afterburner with palladium catalyst is arranged downstream of carbon dioxide and hydrogen processing system. Hydrogen adsorber with intermetallide is arranged downstream of carbon dioxide after burner. Hydrogen accumulator with intermetallide is arranged between water electrolytic decomposition unit and carbon dioxide and hydrogen processing system. Said water electrolytic decomposition unit and carbon dioxide afterburner are communicated via oxygen adsorber.

EFFECT: maximum independence of life support system.
