Long term tests of the HEPP liquid trap diode heat pipe prototype
Abstract
The test results which were obtained with the HEPP liquid trap diode heat pipe prototype after it had been in storage for almost 27 months are presented. Transport data were obtained over the range of 150 to 220 K and reverse mode shutdown was measured with nominal operation at 180 K.
