Mesures effectuées sur l'isolation multicouche à une température limite élevée employant une méthode non calorimétrique simple.

Measurements of multilayer insulation (MLI) at high boundary temperature, using a simple non-calorimetric method.

Résumé

The authors establish the thermal performance of MLI between 300 and 77 or 4 K, without bringing calorimetric methods into play, through the accurate measurement of a temperature profile. A cylinder in thin copper, wrapped with MLI, is cooled at one extremity while suspended under vacuum inside a sheath at room temperature. For known thermal conductivity and thickness of the tube, the heat flux can be inferred from the temperature profile. In-situ measurement of the thermal conductivity is obtained by applying a known heat flow at the warm extremity of the cylinder. Results, cross-checked with a calibrated heat meter, compare well with what previously obtained on a large-scale measuring facility.
