Abstract:An Advanced Vapor Compression Loop (AVCL) for high temperature lift for heat rejection to hot lunar surface during lunar daytime was developed. The loop consists of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an electronic expansion valve. Different types of evaporators were evaluated in this study: a circular tube evaporator, a circular tube evaporator with a twisted tape, a circular tube evaporator with a wick, and a circular tube evaporator with a wick and a twisted tape. The evaporators were tested with … Show more
