Passive Thermal Control Systems for Advanced Space Suit Concepts

Abstract

Pervaporation of water from a space suit has been proposed as a method of cooling an astronaut. The purpose of this program was to investigate the various principles, techniques and material designs applicable to the engineering of a system capable of transferring up to 3000 Btu/hr. Four different approaches were investigated with an eventual prototype kept in view.
