Evaluation of porous-plug liquid separators for space super-fluid helium systems
Description
NASA plans to use superfluid cryostats for a number of missions requiring temperatures in the superfluid regime, below 2.172K. The work reported here provides an operational demonstration of the usefulness of porous plugs for liquid-vapor separators and associated temperature control in a zero-gravity environment. Previously reported work on superfluid filters is expanded to find useful materials to match a range of requirements for cooling power, temperature range, and conditions for venting to space.
