COOL - Cryogenic Optimization for Outstanding Liquid exchange · 模型 165432
The COOL recuperator represents a revolutionary approach to cryogenic heat exchange, leveraging advanced additive manufacturing to create a single-piece solution where traditional designs require hundreds of discrete components. At the core of this innovation is the proprietary Helix Gyroid structure. This optimized lattice geometry maximizes surface area while maintaining fluid continuity in microgravity environments. This design aims to achieve thermal effectiveness exceeding 0.97 while delivering an exceptional power density of 108 W/kg. The monolithic AlSi10Mg construction eliminates all internal joints and potential leak paths, a critical advancement for long-duration space missions. Comprehensive FEM analysis confirms structural integrity under both pressure loading (1.5× operating pressure) and thermal gradient conditions (300K to 90K), with the gyroid matrix effectively distributing thermal stresses throughout the structure. Manufacturing costs are reduced considerably compared to traditional approaches by eliminating complex assembly operations. The design facilitates the neon flow of 20 g/s with a pressure drop below 20 kPa – outperforming conventional recuperators across all key metrics. The design's compact dimensions and standardized AN-6 connections ensure seamless integration with existing spacecraft thermal management systems. The COOL recuperator delivers breakthrough performance that enables next-generation cryogenic management for lunar and Martian exploration while demonstrating the transformative potential of advanced manufacturing in space applications.
