  • Development and Application of Vortex Liquid / Gas Phase Separator for Reduced Gravity Environment

説明

Under the reduced gravity condition, liquid and gas do not separate by gravity as on Earth. The lack of natural phase separation impacts a variety of multiphase flow systems, such as life support, waste water processing, and power systems. For instance, moisture exhaled from space vehicle crew members must be removed from the cabin air by humidity control systems. To answer this demand, researchers have conceived various methods of producing phase separation under reduced gravity environments from 1950’s. These separation types have included wicking, elbow, hydrophobic/hydrophilic, vortex, rotary fan separators, and combinations thereof. Each class of separator achieved acceptable performance for particular applications and most performed in some capacity for the space program. Texas A&M University has developed vortex type separator allowing a wide range of flow rate and gas quality of two-phase flow, and successfully proved its performance on a variety of systems requiring liquid / gas phase separation aboard the NASA reduced gravity experiment aircraft. The vortex separator has also demonstrated the ability as dehumidification device and boiler under the reduced gravity condition.
