Abstract
The satellite thermal control H/W composed of two parallel channels working for heat pipe (HP) and phase change material (PCM) is suggested for the high heat dissipating component which works intermittently with short duty. In a limited point of view, the HP-PCM device is a kind of off-the-shelf component that requires no dedicated configuration and thermal designs to PCM. Therefore, it can be used with less impact on the program cost and schedule different from most of the PCM applications. In present study the typical honeycomb structure radiator applying the HP-PCM device is designed and the detail thermal math model is developed for numerical analyses. The result comparison between without and with PCM shows that the HP-PCM device redistributes the peak heat around the whole mission period through the alternate melting and freezing of PCM, and, as a result, the maximum and minimum temperatures are effectively alleviated. The drawback of PCM application due to low thermal conductivity can be successfully resolved by means of parallel arrangement of HP channel.
