This paper describes the performance benefits and current technology progress of an active heat pump loop (HPL) thermal control bus for spacecraft and planetary thermal control applications. Having ...

Accurate and stable temperature control is necessary for effectively using many thermally sensitive components and sensors, such as semiconductor lasers and optical detectors. An industry has grown up ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 103, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE (1994), pp. 1658-1667 (10 pages) The Capillary Pumped Loop Flight Experiment (CAPL) is a prototype of the Earth Observing System (EOS) ...

BRIDGEPORT — The only heat many people are worried about at this time of year is the temperature at the beach or pool. City and state officials, however, are trying to salvage a proposal several years ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) based on the Peltier effect can be used for general cooling, but more often they’re applied to maintain a precise temperature for subsystems and components. And unlike ...

Accurate and cost-effective sensing of the temperature to be controlled. Closure of the feedback loop between temperatures sensor and heat and/or cooling source with control circuitry, including both ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

How laser diodes have become the technology of choice in laser projection. Thermal challenges posed by laser diodes. Details on why is thermoelectric cooling the most effective thermal solution. Laser ...
