The Transpirator-Cooler - A Space-Cooling-System 921167
Transpirators are light and efficient evaporative coolers which we proposed /1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6/.Till now they were constructed with commercially available materials.
We determined the cooling capacity of Transpirator-elements and of a Transpirator-cooler, equipped with nine elements.
Advantages of the Transpirators are:
No loss of evaporating coolant in liquid or solid state
Low weight and low volume
Good adaptability to heat rejection at different temperature levels
Modular structure, and therefore numerous possibilities of configuration and of subdivision into independent subunits
