ANALYSIS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SINGLE-CIRCUIT SPACE POWERPLANT WITH A THERMOELECTRIC CONVERTER (ANALIZ KHARAKTERISTIK ODNOKONTURNOI KOSMICHESKOI ENERGOUSTANOVKI S TERMOELEKTRICHESKIM PREOBRAZOVATELEM),

Abstract

Thermoelectric power converters for space applications are grouped into four types according to the method of heat transport: a 'dry' system in which the hot and cold junctions are in direct contact with the heat source and the radiator; a single loop system with a hot heat transfer agent; and a single loop system with a cold heat transfer agent and a two-loop system.
