SPACECRAFT TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

FIELD: transportation; heating. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed temperature control system has two independent, onboard circulation channels with a heat carrier, with the same composition. The channels are arranged next to each other in honeycomb panels and each of them has inlet and outlet fluid connectors. The temperature control system also has a plug-in unit, whose outlet and inlet fluid connectors are connected to the inlet and outlet fluid connectors of one of the above mentioned channels. The plug-in unit has extra inlet and outlet fluid connectors with which it is connected to the outlet and inlet fluid connector of another circulation channel. These extra fluid connectors in turn are connected through switches to lines of the plug-in unit, leading to the given inlet and outlet fluid connectors of this unit. Switches are used in the given lines. Output parts of the outlet and extra outlet fluid connectors of the unit are ringed through one more switch to parts of the inlet and extra inlet fluid connectors of the unit, respectively. ^ EFFECT: simplification of the whole structure of the temperature control system due to use of the corresponding plug-in unit. ^ 3 dwg
