TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of spacecraft thermal control, and relates to a two-phase reservoir liquid discharge and liquid absorption control characteristic test device and a test method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of space remote sensing technology, the temperature precision requirement of optical remote sensors for their core devices (such as CCD components or CMOS components) is higher and higher, the required heat transfer capacity and heat transfer distance are increasing, and more and more places need to use mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop (MPTL) technology for thermal control design. Figure 1 The reservoir is equivalent to the "brain" of the system and is the control center of the system, which plays a role in controlling the temperature of the system, adjusting the fluid distribution between the main loop and the reservoir, and managing the gas-liquid two-phase fluid under microgravity conditions. The working medium in the reservoir is in a saturated state, and the saturation temperature and saturation pressure are one-to-one corresponding, which can control the saturation pressure through the gas phase temperature, and then control the total amount of working medium in the reservoir.
[0003] The internal of the two-phase temperature control type reservoir is two-phase saturated working medium, and the pressure can be controlled by controlling the temperature of the saturated fluid in the reservoir, and the exchange between the working medium and the main loop can be realized. Therefore, the two-phase temperature control type reservoir is more popular, and MPTL technology generally selects it as the control component of the system.

The feasibility experiment of the above quantitative research will directly affect the development process of the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop reservoir. The core device of the optical remote sensor is in a periodic working mode. When the remote sensing camera is imaging, the core device starts to work, and the heat generated by the work needs to be taken away by the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop. During this period, the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop works, and the reservoir needs to discharge a certain amount of working medium into the fluid loop according to the different heat dissipation power; when the remote sensing camera is not imaging, the core device does not work, and the core device needs to be insulated during this process, and a certain amount of working medium in the fluid loop is stored back into the reservoir.
[0005] In order to verify the control characteristics of the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop reservoir, the quantitative test of the control characteristics of the reservoir needs to be carried out on the ground to verify whether the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop reservoir can meet the use requirements of effectively controlling the inflow and outflow of the fluid in the reservoir and the loop during the on-orbit work, and whether the control characteristics of the mechanical pump driven two-phase fluid loop reservoir meet the design requirements during the service life.
