[0002] As an active microwave imaging payload, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the ability to obtain high-resolution images at all times of the day and in all weather conditions, at long imaging distances, and through certain obstructions. Since the launch of the first SAR satellite SEASAT in 1978, after more than 40 years of development, low-Earth orbit (LEO) SAR systems and signal processing technology have become relatively mature. In recent years, with the development of satellite-borne SAR technology, the demand for high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution has been growing, whether in military reconnaissance or civilian monitoring applications. Due to the characteristics of short revisit time and large coverage, medium- and high-orbit SAR has good application prospects in natural disaster monitoring and forecasting, military wide-area reconnaissance, etc., and has become an emerging research hotspot in the SAR field.

[0003] As an important microwave power amplifier device, the traveling wave tube is widely used in various communication satellites. It is a key component of the satellite-borne synthetic aperture radar transmitter and the satellite-borne transponder, and is known as the "heart" of the satellite communication system. The medium and high orbit SAR has high requirements for the performance and technical indicators of the traveling wave tube, requiring greater output power, higher reliability, higher stability and longer life. The performance of the traveling wave tube is severely restricted by the heat dissipation capacity, so it has put forward higher and higher requirements for the development of thermal control technology.

[0005] The Chinese patent CN202410604122.5 proposes a thermal control device for aerospace use, which uses the heat storage characteristics of phase change materials to achieve heat exchange between the phase change cabin and the payload through a heat pipe or a fluid circuit. However, the cost of traditional single-channel thermal control in the prior art to achieve rapid heat dissipation of high-power devices is that it requires a large volume and mass of working fluid, or requires a strong rapid heat dissipation platform, which is difficult to achieve on satellites. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a short-time precise thermal control system and method for high-power devices, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the mass and volume of the working fluid required need to be further reduced while meeting the conditions for low-difficulty and rapid heat dissipation of high-power devices on satellites.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions to achieve the above problems:

[0008] A thermal control system for a high-power device comprises a liquid reservoir, one end of the liquid reservoir is connected to the inlet end of a working fluid delivery pump, the other end of the liquid reservoir is connected to a temperature control valve, the outlet end of the working fluid delivery pump is connected to the inlet end of a flow channel of the high-power device, and the outlet end of the flow channel of the high-power device is connected to the temperature control valve.

[0009] The temperature control valve is also connected to one end of the working fluid reflux pump, the other end of the working fluid reflux pump is connected to one end of the cold box, and the other end of the cold box is connected to the heat dissipation component.

[0010] A one-way valve is arranged between the outlet end of the flow channel of the high-power device and the temperature control valve.

[0011] The present invention also has the following technical features:

[0012] A filling and discharging valve, a filter and a pressure sensor are arranged in sequence between the liquid storage device and the inlet end of the working medium delivery pump.

[0013] The present invention also protects a thermal control method for a high-power device, which is implemented by using the thermal control system for a high-power device as described above; the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: According to the thermal control requirements of the high-power device, determine the single working time t of the high-power device, the total heat consumption Q of the high-power device, and the working fluid temperature T at the inlet end of the high-power device flow channel. in And the working fluid temperature T at the outlet of the high-power device flow channel out .

[0015] Step 2: Based on the structural material of the flow channel of the high-power device, select the working fluid for heat exchange in the flow channel of the high-power device and in the pipeline.

[0016] Step three, set the temperature T0 of the low-temperature working fluid stored in the cold box, calculate the initial working fluid mass m0 in the cold box and the initial working fluid mass m0 in the liquid reservoir according to the low-temperature working fluid temperature T0 stored in the cold box, and determine the number of cycles N of the working fluid. After N cycles, thermal control of high-power devices in a single working period is achieved.

[0017] Specifically, in step 3, the specific process of the N-time cycle is as follows: when the high-power device is working, the temperature in the liquid reservoir is T in , the working fluid with a mass of m0 enters the inlet of the flow channel of the high-power device through the working fluid delivery pump, and then the outlet temperature of the flow channel of the high-power device is T out , the mass is m0. At this time, the ball screw of the cold box starts to rotate, and part of the low-temperature working fluid in the cold box flows out. The temperature of the part of the low-temperature working fluid flowing out of the cold box is T0 and the mass is m1. The temperature control valve controls the temperature of the pipe connecting the high-power device and the temperature control valve to be T out The working fluid flow of the temperature control valve enters the liquid reservoir, and the temperature control valve also controls the low-temperature working fluid flow of the temperature T0 in the pipeline connecting the cold box and the temperature control valve to enter the liquid reservoir. After the two working fluid flows of different temperatures are mixed, the temperature T in , the working fluid with a mass of m0+m1 flows into the liquid reservoir through the temperature control valve, which is the first cycle.

[0018] The temperature in the reservoir is T in , the working fluid with a mass of m0+m1 enters the inlet of the flow channel of the high-power device again through the working fluid delivery pump, and then the outlet temperature of the flow channel of the high-power device is T out , the mass of the working fluid is m0+m1. At this time, the ball screw of the cold box starts to rotate again, and part of the low-temperature working fluid in the cold box flows out. The temperature of the part of the low-temperature working fluid flowing out of the cold box is T0 and the mass is m2. After the two working fluid flows with different temperatures are mixed, the temperature is T in , the working fluid with a mass of m0+m1+m2 flows into the liquid reservoir through the temperature control valve, which is the second cycle.

[0019] Repeat N times, that is, cycle N times. At this time, the mass in the cold box is m1+m2+…m N The low-temperature working fluid flows into the liquid reservoir, and the mass of the working fluid in the liquid reservoir is m0+m1+m2+…m N And m1+m2+…m N ≤m0 and the working fluid temperature in the reservoir is still T in .

[0020] Specifically, the single thermal control of the high-power device during the non-working period is that the temperature in the liquid reservoir is T in , the mass is m1+m2+…m NThe working fluid is transported to the cold box through the working fluid reflux pump, and the working fluid in the cold box is cooled to the working fluid temperature T by the heat dissipation component. in Control the temperature to the low temperature working fluid temperature T0.

[0021] Preferably, the temperature control valve controls the working fluid temperature entering the liquid reservoir to be constant at T in .

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0023] (I) The short-term precise thermal control system for high-power devices in the present invention can meet different flow requirements for different specific high-power devices, and the flow rate and flow velocity of the working fluid are controllable. At the same time, the temperature of the flow channel inlet end and the temperature of the flow channel outlet end of the high-power device are controlled to be constant, thereby achieving precise temperature control.

[0024] (II) The short-time precise thermal control system for high-power devices in the present invention can achieve short-time precise temperature control of high-power devices with pulse heat consumption power reaching MW level and average heat consumption power reaching tens of kW, thus solving the thermal control problem of high-power microwave sensitive devices such as traveling wave tubes, klystrons and accelerating tubes, which are the core components of high-orbit SAR.

[0025] (III) The short-time precise thermal control system for high-power devices in the present invention is different from the traditional single-channel heat dissipation system in that the cost of achieving rapid heat dissipation of high-power devices is that it requires a large volume and mass of working fluid, or requires a very strong rapid heat dissipation platform, which is difficult to implement on satellites.

[0026] (IV) The short-time precise thermal control method for high-power devices in the present invention utilizes the rapid mixing of the pre-stored low-temperature working fluid with the working fluid at the outlet of the high-power device, thereby realizing multiple circulations of the working fluid in a short time. Compared with the single-path thermal control method, the mass and volume of the working fluid required by this thermal control method can be compressed to less than 10%, which greatly reduces the mass and volume of the working fluid required for thermal control and greatly reduces the load pressure, so that this method can be used for high-power devices on satellites.

[0027] (V) The short-term precise thermal control method for high-power devices in the present invention can flexibly set the low-temperature point and mass of the working fluid stored in the cold box according to the heat consumption and temperature control requirements of the high-power devices, and use the heat dissipation component to perform thermal control on the working fluid in the cold box during the non-working period of the high-power devices, thereby greatly reducing the heat dissipation pressure in a short period of time and achieving rapid temperature control during the working period.
