Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for cooling components in spacecraft, comprising a heat radiator (5) and a heat conductor (3; 3a, 3b). A versatile applicability is achieved in such a way that the heat conductor (3, 3a, 3b) penetrates an outside wall (1) of the spacecraft and is provided in the interior of the spacecraft with several coupling places (8) for components to be cooled (20) and/or for other heat conductors (10).
Claims13
A combination of a spacecraft having an outer wall and a cooling apparatus for cooling components in the spacecraft, said combination comprising:
- a heat radiator and a primary heat conductor, said primary heat conductor extending through said outer wall and comprising an inner part which includes a plurality of coupling sites and extends from inside the spacecraft to said outer wall, an outer part which extends from said outer wall to said heat radiator outside said spacecraft, said inner and outer parts defining a conical chamber therebetween containing a fluid of high heat conductivity, and a spring which presses the inner and outer parts together to pretension the conical chamber.
