Application of heat of solid-state microwave element in dilatometric evaporator valve of micro thruster of a small spacecraft

Abstract

The article is devoted to experimental processing and theoretical investigation of the method of cooling the crystal of the microwave transistor of correcting micro truster for small spacecraft. A distinctive feature of the proposed method is the use of heat removed from the microwave transistor in the dilatometric evaporator valve. In general, this work is a continuation of the work on the creation of methodological bases for the design of the micro thruster correction microcircuit with microwave heating of the working fluid. In this article we are talking about cooling the microwave transistor in vacuum conditions with the use of the extracted energy in the dilatometric valve and for preheating the working fluid before entering the microwave chamber.
