Transcript of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS The technology successfully operated at 80-90 °K during
ground tests and in the zero gravity CRYOTSU canister on board STS-95
Testing successfully demonstrated acquisition of waste heat through the vaporization of a working fluid which is passively pumped using the surface tension forces developed in a fine porous wick structure
Extrapolated the development of similar room temperature technology to cryogenic applications
Characterized operation for an 80-90 °K system using nitrogen as the working fluid. Spin off development demonstrated functionality down to 40 °K using neon.
COMMERCIALIZATION
Miniaturization of loop components has provided the ground work for extrapolating the technology to room temperature electronic cooling
A vibration isolating cryogenic heat transport systemcapable of transporting waste heat from electronicsand sensors over long distances with the use of no
moving parts or thermal switches.
