Four Bed Carbon Dioxide Scrubber Engineering Development Unit Cabin Air Inlet Testing

This paper reviews a test series conducted on the Four Bed Carbon Dioxide Scrubber Engineering Development Unit, a ground test analog for the Four Bed Carbon Dioxide Scrubber Technology Demonstration currently operating on the International Space Station. For this test series conducted in mid-2022, an alternate FBCO2 inlet air location (direct from the cabin) was evaluated. This paper presents test results, rationale for observed performance changes, and possible ramifications for the flight FBCO2 Scrubber.

Real-time Contaminant Evolution from a CO 2 Scrubber

Spaceflight requires recycling and revitalization of cabin air within the spacecraft during missions. Marshall Space Flight Center’s (MSFC) Environmental Control and Life Support Systems Engineering Development Branch (ES-62), develops and tests novel regenerative life support systems, supports the International Space Station (ISS) operations, and plans life support for future missions, such as Gateway and Mars transit.
