Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An Oscillating heat pipe (OHP), which is a thin heat transfer device with high heat transfer capability, is expected to be an excellent heat transfer device for the thermal management system of future spacecraft with larger heat dissipation. A flat-plate heat pipe (FHP) with check valves, a type of OHP, has been developed in JAXA. The on-orbit experiment of FHP is currently underway to conduct the performance evaluation of FHP under micro-gravity environment, as one of the Small Demonstration Satellite-4 (SDS-4, launched in May, 2012) missions. The Results show that the heat transfer characteristics under micro-gravity condition are the same as those under 1-g condition, and no degradation is seen after a year on orbit. This paper describes the development and the results of on-orbit experiment of FHP.
