Heat transfer and rejection system, especially for spacecraft

摘要

The system has a radiator panel (3) with at least one condenser (4), the panel being hinged to the structure so it can be retracted or deployed. The structure has at least one evaporator (9) connected to the condenser by tubes which allow for deployment and retraction. Each condenser and evaporator form a diphase capillary pump loop, and the radiator panel has at least one heat duct (12) in thermal contact with a condenser. The heat ducts are linear, parallel and in the form of tubes which are sealed at their ends and contain a fluid which can evaporate and condense.
