Optimization of thermal network forspacecraft thermal control and environment control and life support system

Mass optimization of spacecraft thermal control, environmental control and life support systems was studied using an experimental thermal network system. The operating characteristics of different thermal networks were investigated experimentally to determine the influence of the thermal module layout on the network mass. The experimental results show how the layout influences the system heat exchange and how optimization of the layout can reduce the system mass and that size of the reduction depends on the mean heat exchanger temperature difference. The mass was reduced about 30% in the experimental work. The experimental results agree well with theoretical analyses.
