1500 W deployable radiator with loop heat pipe.

Author(s) : PEROTTO V., TAVERA S., GONCHAROV K., et al.

Summary

Two-phase capillary loops are being extensively studied as heat collection and rejection systems for space applications as they appear to satisfy several requirements such as low weight, low volume, temperature control under variable heat loads and/or heat sink, operation on ground and 0-g, simple mounting and heat transfer through tortuous paths. A deployable radiator with loop heat pipe with a heat transport capability of 1500 W has been defined and conceived by Alenia, developed by Lavochkin Association under contract for Alenia, and is described in the paper.
