Research and development of cold plate for two phase fluid loop thermal control system
Abstract
Topics discussed include: the concept of two phase fluid thermal control system; requirements for the cold plate; classification of cold plates resulting from seeking for measures to upgrade heat transmission characteristics in microgravity; types of cold plate including heat pipe type, plate type, and swirl type; experiment system onboard NASA microgravity experiment plane; drop tower; examples of flow in microgravity; gas-liquid two phase flow regime maps in a swirl tube in microgravity; and the loop structure of the airborne experiment equipment.
