Tracker Thermal Control System 3 TTCS Power Budget Issues TTCS power budget definition 125W (with about 70W beyond TTCS power budget) was needed to avoid CO2 from freezing in the coldest case, as simulation showed; Attempt to reduce this power is made by improving the temperature uniformity on the radiator; Current status –Almost no extra power is needed (for primary loop) but with small margin; –For a reasonable margin of 10K, about 25W extra power might be needed rarely.

Evaporator length The top and bottom Evaporator have the same length. For each, the feed line is 4.5m, the Evapor part is 9m, and return line is 3.5m. The top and bottom Evaporator have the different length. For top, the feed line and the return line are both 2.5m. For bottom, the feed line and the return line are both 1.0m. Evaporator attached to the tracker Total length: 0.405m m m + 2.5m m + 1.4m m m = 9.0 m., which length in red is the part attach to the tracker. Total length: 2*3.14*0.405m + 2*3.14*0.405m + 2*3.14*0.324m + 2*3.14*0.324m = 9.0 m. The total length both attach to the tracker. That in red is the part attach to big ring, while that in blue to the small ring. Feed line and return line in Rad The feed lines for both ram side and wake side are the same, 4.45m. The return lines for both ram side and wake side are 4.5m. And there is 1.0m connect the return line and joint point for each side. The feed line and return line for Ram side are 4.41m. For wake side, the feed line and return are 2.01m. Converge point The Ram side, wake side and the tube which connect Accumulator and loop are converge in one point (Junc1 here). The Ram side and wake side joint in one point (Junc 80). From the point, there is a line 0.25m long connects to the point (Junc 10 here) where Acc. connects to the loop.

Tracker Thermal Control System 19 Brief summary for uniformity Radiator is more uniform after reversing the flow direction. –Reduced heating power to avoid freezing –No big effect to the hot case. –Making the radiator working more efficiently More detail check is still needed for the models.

Tracker Thermal Control System 20 TTCS Power Budget Issues Summary (I) Improving the temperature uniformity in the condensers and radiators, e.g., by reversing the flow direction of CO2 in the condenser, is very helpful for reducing the heating power to avoid CO2 from freezing in the condensers.

Tracker Thermal Control System 21 TTCS Power Budget Issues Summary (II) TTCS power budget should be reconfigured. Suggestion: –Accumulator heater size should be reconfigured, (18W instead of 12.5W), in a price of a little less stable accumulator control; –Or heat leak should be readjusted from the accumulator to the loop; –A preheater is sized to 5W ; –An anti-frozen heater of 40W is added, preferentially to the coldest point of the condenser. Tracker hybrid power budget shared by TTCS in some extreme cases is proposed. –Considering Tracker hybrids may fail, less than 144W from the Tracker together with the present TTCS power budget is then not enough to avoid CO2 freezing.
