Title:
COOLING APPARATUS AND SATELLITE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/117105
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cooling apparatus (100) cools an electronic device (2) or other heat-generating device mounted on a satellite or other such carrier. The cooling apparatus (100) is provided with an annular refrigerant flow path (10) formed by sequentially connecting a pump (3) that circulates a liquid refrigerant, a cooler (4) that uses the refrigerant to cool the electronic device (2) or other heat-generating device, and a heat exchanger (5) that cools the refrigerant. The cooling apparatus (100) is also provided with a vapor mixing unit (20) for mixing, into the refrigerant flowing into the cooler (4) in the refrigerant flow path (10), vapor generated by heat entering the satellite or other such carrier from the outside and/or heat generated by the electronic device (2) or other heat-generating device.
