It has been investigated for the temperature profile in a planar evaporator of micro-cooler subject to a uniform heat flux prior to tole initiation of boiling. The results of the analysis allow for the determination of applied power levels fur which nucleation is likely to occur only within the vapor grooves of the evaporator while maintaining subcooling in the liquid core, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful startup. Also, limits are fecund for which additional increases in the applied heat flux do not increase the temperature difference between the vapor grooves and the wick-liquid core interface. This analysis is appropriate for the microscale evaporators of micro-cooler during a fully-flooded startup as well as starter pump designs and micro-CPLs(capillary pumped loops). The results are useful in the initial basic design of microscale heat transfer devices.

Spaceborne cryocoolers produce undesirable micro-vibration disturbances during their on-orbit operation, which are a primary source of image-quality degradation for high-resolution observation satellites. Therefore, to comply with the strict mission requirement of high-quality image acquisition, micro-vibration disturbances induced by cooler operation have always been subjected to an isolation objective. However, in this study, we focused on the applicability of energy harvesting technology to generate electrical energy from micro-vibration energy of the cooler and investigated the feasibility of utilizing harvested energy as a power source to operate low-power-consumption devices such as micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) devices. A tuned mass damper (TMD)-type electromagnetic energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator was proposed to achieve this objective. The system performs the dual functions of electrical energy generation and micro-vibration isolation. The effectiveness of the strategy was evaluated through numerical simulations.

The three-dimensional numerical analysis has been carried out to figure out the effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the thermo-electric micro-cooler. The small-size and column-type thermoelectric cooler is considered. It is known that tellurium compounds currently have the highest cooling performance around the room temperature. Thus, in the present study, $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ and $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ are selected as the n- and p-type thermoelectric materials, respectively. The thermoelectric leg considered is less than $20{\mu}m$ thick. The thickness of the leg may affect the thermal and electrical transport through the interfaces between the leg and metal conductors. The effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the cooler has been investigated with parameters such as the temperature difference, the current, and the cooling power.

In general a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) consists of a series of P type and N type thermoelectric materials sandwiched between two wafers. When a DC current passes through these materials, three different effects take place; Peltier effect, Joule heating effect and heat transfer by conduction due to temperature difference between hot and cold plates. In this study we have developed a micro TEC using $Bi_2Te_3$ (N type) and $Bi_{0.5}Sb_{1.5}Te_3$ (P type) thin films. In order to improve that performance of a micro TEC, we made 10 um height TE legs using special PR only for lift-off. We measured COP (coefficient of performance) and temperature difference between hot and cold connectors with current.

In this work, a continuous-flow micro-PCR system is systematically designed. From the numerical simulation based on the finite volume method, adapting oneself to a new environmental temperature without an external temperature controller is shown to be possible and a cooler as well as a heater is shown to be necessary to obtain three individual temperature zones for polymerase chain reaction. In addition, appropriate geometry of a heat sink for the cooler is determined by using a compact modeling method, the porous medium approach.

This paper presents an optimal design of a micro evaporator which maximizes the heat transfer coefficient. Number of gaps, spanwise distance and streamwise distance are selected as the geometric design parameters. Mass flow rate of the refrigerant is selected as the non-geometric design parameter. Temperature at the surface of the heater is measured to valuate the heat transfer coefficient. Nine experiments are conducted using $L_9(3^4)$ orthogonal array. Maximum heat transfer coefficient is 640 W/$m^2K$ at the parameters of 2 gaps, 0.2 mm spanwise distance, 1.0 mm streamwise distance and 0.72 g/s mass flow rate. Among the 3 geometric parameters, the spanwise distance is the most sensitive parameter influencing the heat transfer coefficient. We conduct a second stage of experiment to increase the heat transfer coefficient by reselecting the mass flow rate. We concluded that 0.87 g/s is the optimized flow rate for an active micro cooler resulting in a heat transfer coefficient of 651 W/$m^2K$.

우주용 냉각기는 관측위성의 적외선 검출기 초점면부의 극저온 냉각을 위해 적용되며, 궤도운용 시 단일 주파수 형태의 미소진동을 발생한다. 상기 미소진동은 관측위성의 영상품질을 저하시키는 주된 요인이며, 이에 따라 미소진동 절연이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상기 우주용 냉각기의 미소진동 절연을 목적으로 별도의 발사구속장치 적용 없이도 발사진동 및 궤도 미소진동환경에 동시적용 가능한 적층형 블레이드 진동절연기를 제안하였다. 본 진동절연기에 적용된 블레이드는 얇은 금속 박판을 다층으로 적층하고 각 층 상호면에 점탄성 특성 부여가 가능한 테이프를 적용하여 발사환경에서의 피로 내구성 향상 및 고댐핑 특성 부여를 목적하였다. 제안된 진동절연기의 기본특성 확인을 위해 자유감쇠 시험을 실시하였으며, 인증수준에서의 발사진동 시험을 통해 설계유효성을 입증하였다.

MIRIS(Multipurpose InfraRed Imaging System)는 과학기술위성 3호의 주 탑재체이며 2012년 하반기 발사예정이다. MIRIS 우주관측 카메라는 0.9-2.0 ${\mu}m$ 영역에서 3.67 deg. x 3.67 deg. FOV로 우리 은하평면 survey 관측과 우주배경복사(CIB) 관측을 수행할 것이다. 현재 MIRIS는 비행모델 개발 마무리 단계에 있으며, 검교정 시험, 열-진공 시험, 진동 시험 등을 수행하고 나면 2011년 말 위성 본체와의 조립을 진행할 것이다. 망원경이 복사냉각(Passive Cooling)을 통해 200K 이하로 냉각되면, dewar에 설치된 소형 냉각기를 가동하여 적외선 센서를 90K 정도로 냉각한다. MIRIS 우주관측카메라에는 PICNIC($256{\times}256$ pixel) 센서를 사용하였고, 상온과 냉각된 상태에서의 노이즈 특성을 측정하였다. PICNIC 센서와 dewar내부를 냉각하기 위해 RICOR사의 K-508 micro stirling cooler를 사용하는데, cooler가 동작하면서 전자부에 영향을 주어 주된 잡음으로 나타남을 확인하였다. Cooler에서 발생하는 잡음을 최소화 하기위해 fanout B/D와 LVPS 부분을 개선하였으며, 본 발표에서는 잡음 측정 결과에 대해 논의 하고자 한다.
