The system for cooling the avionics aboard Spacelab
Abstract
The paper describes the design and principles of operation of the closed-loop air cooling system for Spacelab avionics. The cooling system includes air- and water-temperature sensors, a pressure-difference sensor, a signal conditioner, and a filter to protect the avionics against contaminants. Particular attention is given to the operation of the fan assembly and the heat exchanger, and some experimental results on the cooling system are discussed.
