Optimal operational modes for frameless space radiators with organosilicon ultrahigh coolant

Abstract

Optimal modes of operation of frameless space radiators with organosilicon ultrahigh-vacuum working medium have been determined. Recommendations for increasing efficiency and intensity of the sheet radiation cooling under different modes of operation of the droplet cooler-radiator in the space are formulated. A method for determining the optimal number of droplet planes within the fine droplet sheet structure is presented. How the flow rarefaction influences onto on radiator’s main thermal characteristics is investigated. The operational modes of the frameless radiator with “cross” configuration are grounded.
