Measuring Titanium Heat Pipe Thermal Conductivity for CO2 Adsorption Systems
Current models of the Air-Cooled Temperature Swing Adsorption Compressor (AC-TSAC) being developed for long duration space exploration utilize cooling chambers and heat plates to adsorb and desorb contaminants -13 . To reduce resources required and lower the equivalent system mass (ESM), the study focuses on determining the applications of titanium heat pipe systems to operate both phases, allowing for future research into the development of a heat pipe chamber to hold the zeolite formulations.
