Development of a laboratory prototype spraying flash evaporator.A functional description of the flash evaporator that is being developed as a candidate for the Space Shuttle Environmental Control System thermal control is presented. A single evaporator configuration uses water as an evaporant to accommodate on-orbit peak heat loads and Freon 22 for terrestrial flight phases below 120,000 ft altitude. Development history, test plans, and operational characteristics are described. Detailed information is included to show: design features, fabrication techniques used for a prototype unit, redundancy considerations, and the control arrangement.
