Evaluation of Eutectic Fluoride Thermal Energy Storage Unit Compatibility. Part II. Test Procedures and Post-Test Evaluation Results.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to develop the required analytical and experimental heat transfer and metallurgical compatibility data necessary to optimize the design and usable life of thermal energy storage systems for surveillance spacecraft VM cryocooler applications. This report will discuss the initial 2000 hours of metallurgical data and the techniques used to obtain this data for various eutectic fluoride thermal energy storage systems. (Author)
