Solar dynamic heat pipe development and endurance test. Monthly technical progress report number 3, 28 July--27 August 1987

Description: The Space Station requires a high-level of reliable electric power. The baseline approach is to utilize a hybrid system in which power is provided by photovoltaic arrays and by solar dynamic power conversion modules. The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) engine is one approach to solar dynamic conversion. The ORC provides the attributes of high efficiency at low temperature and compact simple designs utilizing conventional techniques and materials. The heat receiver is one area which must be addresse… more
