Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic tripping cryo-heat flow switch which is especially used in cooling systems in which a redundancy operation is required. The aim of the invention is to produce an automatic tripping cryo-heat flow switch which, with a construction that is as simple as possible, enables a reliable maintenance-free mode of operation, and thus guaranteeing an automatic switching connection between the heat sink and the application to be cooled. According to the invention, an outer hollow cylinder (1) is provided which is connected to the heat sink (9), and an inner body (2) is provided which is coaxially arranged with regard to said hollow cylinder and which is connected to the application (7) to be cooled. When the heat sink (9) is switched off, a concentric annular gap (4) which is fixed by spacers is located between the hollow cylinder (1) and the inner body (2). The linear thermal expansion factor of the outer cylinder (1) is larger than that of the inner body (2).

Description

Selbstauslösender Kryo-WärmestromschalterSelf-triggering cryo heat flow switch
Die Erfindung betrifft selbstauslösende Kryo-Wärmestromschalter, die insbesondere bei Kühlsystemen eingesetzt werden, bei denen ein Redundanz-Betrieb erforderlich ist.The invention relates to self-triggering cryogenic heat flow switches, which are used in particular in cooling systems in which redundancy operation is required.
In der Satellitenkommunikationstechnik werden bereits jetzt und in Zukunft verstärkt wartungsfreie Refrigerator-gekühlte elektronische Systeme (Antennen, HTSL-Filter, Verstärker) eingesetzt, die für eine Lebensdauer von mehreren Jahren ausgelegt werden müssen. Da die Refrigeratoren im Betrieb einem Verschleiß unterliegen, muß, um einen Ausfall des Systems zu vermeiden, mindestens ein weiterer Refrigerator als Redundanz vorhanden sein. Dieser muß während des Betriebs thermisch von der Anwendung entkoppelt sein, da er sonst als parasitäre Wärmebrücke wirkt. Beim Ausfall des kühlenden Refrigerators muß der redundante Refrigerator thermisch mit der Anwendung verbunden werden. Gleichzeitig muß der defekte Refrigerator thermisch von der Anwendung getrennt werden. Das Umschalten auf den redundanten Refrigerator muß möglichst schnell erfolgen, damit sich die Anwendung inzwischen nicht zu stark erwärmt und evtl. sogar zeitweise außer Betrieb gesetzt werden muß. Deshalb ist es günstig den redundanten Kühler unbelastet abzukühlen und erst dann mit der Anwendung zu verbinden, sobald dessen Kaltkopftemperatur die Temperatur der Anwendung unterschreitet.In satellite communication technology, maintenance-free refrigerator-cooled electronic systems (antennas, HTSL filters, amplifiers) are already being used now and in the future, which must be designed for a service life of several years. Since the refrigerators are subject to wear during operation, at least one additional refrigerator must be available as redundancy in order to avoid system failure. This must be thermally decoupled from the application during operation, otherwise it acts as a parasitic thermal bridge. If the cooling refrigerator fails, the redundant refrigerator must be thermally connected to the application. At the same time, the defective refrigerator must be thermally separated from the application. Switching to the redundant refrigerator must be done as quickly as possible so that the application does not become too hot in the meantime and may even have to be temporarily shut down. It is therefore beneficial to cool the redundant cooler without load and to connect it to the application only when its cold head temperature falls below the temperature of the application.
Um dieses Problem zu lösen, werden bisher verschiedene aktiv elektromechanisch oder pneumatisch betätigte Wärmeschalter, die Stand der Technik sind, sowie selbstauslösende unidirektionale Kryo-Wärmerohre (US-PS 4,673,030) oder durch Kryosorption gepumpte Gasspalt-Wärmestromschalter (US-PS 4,771,823) eingesetzt.To solve this problem, various actively electromechanically or pneumatically operated heat switches, which are state of the art, and self-triggering unidirectional cryogenic heat pipes (US Pat. No. 4,673,030) or gas gap heat flow switches (US Pat. No. 4,771,823) pumped by cryosorption have been used to date.
Die aktiven mechanischen Systeme stellen bisher die funktional beste Lösung dar. Sie sind jedoch herstellungstechnisch aufwendig, erfordern eine zusätzliche Steuerungselektronik und haben selbst ein signifikantes Ausfallrisiko.The active mechanical systems have so far been the best functional solution. However, they are complex to manufacture, require additional control electronics and have a significant risk of failure.
Unidirektionale Kryo-Wärmerohre sind noch Gegenstand intensiver Entwicklungsarbeit. Die Herstellung ist sehr aufwendig, da zum Befüllen mit dem Arbeitsstoff entweder Hochdruckoder Kryotechnik erforderlich sind. Bei Umgebungstemperatur stehen sie unter einem hohen Innendruck, was große Rohrwandstärken erforderlich macht. Dadurch haben diese Wärmerohre ein schlechtes Schaltverhältnis und sind auch nach der Trennung des Wärmekontakts noch als parasitäre Wärmebrücken spürbar.Unidirectional cryogenic heat pipes are still the subject of intensive development work. The production is very complex because either high pressure or cryogenics are required to fill with the working fluid. At ambient temperature, they are under high internal pressure, which requires large pipe wall thicknesses. As a result, these heat pipes have a poor switching ratio and can still be felt as parasitic thermal bridges even after the heat contact has been disconnected.
Die Herstellung der durch Kryosorption gepumpten Gasspalt-Wärmestromschalter ist dagegen wesentlich weniger aufwendig. Diese arbeiten ebenfalls selbsttätig ohne eine zusätzliche Steuerung. Zur Umschaltung auf den redundanten Refrigerator müssen jedoch die An- wendung und der ausgefallene Refrigerator so weit erwärmt werden, daß die Kryo- Sorptionspumpe ausreichend viel Gas desorbiert um den Wärmestromschalter des redundanten Refrigerators zu schließen. Dazu müßte eine HTSL-Anwendung außer Betrieb genommen werden.The production of the gas gap heat flow switch pumped by cryosorption, however, is much less complex. These also work automatically without additional controls. To switch to the redundant refrigerator, however, the and the failed refrigerator are heated so far that the cryosorption pump desorbs sufficient gas to close the heat flow switch of the redundant refrigerator. To do this, an HTSL application would have to be decommissioned.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen selbstauslösenden Kryo-Wärmestromschalter zu schaffen, der bei möglichst einfachen Aufbau eine zuverlässige, wartungsfreie Funktionsweise ermöglicht und damit eine selbstschaltende Verbindung zwischen Wärmesenke und zu kühlender Anwendung gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a self-triggering cryogenic heat flow switch which, with the simplest possible construction, enables reliable, maintenance-free operation and thus ensures a self-switching connection between the heat sink and the application to be cooled.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruches gelöst. Die Unteransprüche enthalten besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The object is solved by the features of the main claim. The subclaims contain particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Der erfindungsgemäße Wärmestromschalter funktioniert nach dem thermischen Ausdehnungsprinzip. Bezogen auf die Ausgangstemperatur To und die Lineardimensionen bei dieser Ausgangstemperatur, hat dieser einen Einschaltpunkt Te und einen Ausschaltpunkt Ta, welche durch die folgenden beiden Beziehungen definiert sind:The heat flow switch according to the invention works on the thermal expansion principle. Relative to the initial temperature To and the linear dimensions at this initial temperature, this has a switch-on point Te and a switch-off point Ta, which are defined by the following two relationships:
Die Wärmesenke ist mit dem äußeren Hohlzylinder des Wärmestromschalters verbunden. Die zu kühlende Anwendung ist mit dem inneren Voll- oder Hohlzylinder verbunden. Bei Abkühlung zieht sich der äußere Hohlzylinder zusammen, bis dessen Innendurchmesser am Einschaltpunkt den Außendurchmesser des noch warmen inneren Voll- oder Hohlzylin- ders erreicht. Ein Wärmeübergang wird hergestellt, wodurch sich der innere Voll- oder Hohlzylinder gemeinsam mit dem äußeren Hohlzylinder weiter bis unter den Ausschaltpunkt abkühlt und durch die Druckspannung zwischen beiden Teilen ein sicherer Wärmekontakt mit geringem Wärmeübergangswiderstand erreicht wird.The heat sink is connected to the outer hollow cylinder of the heat flow switch. The application to be cooled is connected to the inner solid or hollow cylinder. When it cools down, the outer hollow cylinder contracts until its inner diameter at the switch-on point reaches the outer diameter of the still warm inner solid or hollow cylinder. A heat transfer is produced, whereby the inner solid or hollow cylinder, together with the outer hollow cylinder, cools further down to below the switch-off point and a secure heat contact with low heat transfer resistance is achieved by the compressive stress between the two parts.
Bei der Erwärmung des äußeren Hohlzylinders über den Auschaltpunkt wird der Wärmekontakt geöffnet. Bei der weiteren Erwärmung der Wärmesenke ist die Anwendung von dieser thermisch entkoppelt. Nach der dilatometrischen Bestimmung der Temperaturabhängigkeit der linearen thermischen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten der zum Einsatz vorgesehenen Werkstoffe können diese Wärmestromschalter sehr präzise mit Hilfe der o.g. Beziehungen ausgelegt werden. Wenn die Durchmesser D und d frei wählbar sind, können Einschalt- und Ausschaltpunkt des Wärmestromschalters in weiten Bereichen frei gewählt werden. Liegt einer der Durchmesser fest, kann entweder der Einschalt- oder der Ausschaltpunkt frei gewählt werden.When the outer hollow cylinder is heated above the switch-off point, the thermal contact is opened. When the heat sink is heated further, the application is thermally decoupled from it. After the dilatometric determination of the temperature dependency of the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the materials intended for use, these heat flow switches can be designed very precisely with the help of the above relationships. If the diameters D and d can be freely selected, the switch-on and switch-off points of the heat flow switch can be freely selected in a wide range. If one of the diameters is fixed, either the switch-on or switch-off point can be freely selected.
Die Erfindung wird an nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail using the following exemplary embodiments.

At least three spacers 3 are expediently distributed in the longitudinal grooves 5 at equal intervals on the circumference. The spacers 3 are made of an elastic material, such as Nylon or teflon.

Der innere Köφer 2 besteht aus Molybdän mit einem Ausdehnungskoeffizienten α d = 5,1 ppm/K und einer Wärmeleitfähigkeit λ = 138 W/(m*K). Vorstehende Werte beziehen sich auf Umgebungstemperatur.The hollow cylinder 1 is advantageously made of copper and thus has a linear thermal expansion coefficient α D = 17 ppm / K and a thermal conductivity λ = 401 W / (m * K). The inner body 2 consists of molybdenum with an expansion coefficient α d = 5.1 ppm / K and a thermal conductivity λ = 138 W / (m * K). The above values refer to the ambient temperature.

The essential functional parts of the heat flow switch can be manufactured by any precision mechanics manufacturer with very good reproducibility of their properties.
