Abstract
A Magnetically Coupled Conductive Thermal Interface (MCCTI) for transferring heat from a client to a servicer, the MCCTI providing a thermal interface using an array of electropermanent magnets (EPMs) interfacing with a ferrous target (FT) to create sufficient interfacial pressure to provide a low interfacial thermal resistance that permits heat transfer across the interface without using fasteners such as bolts, adhesives, and the like. Various embodiments use separate heat pipes mounted on each side of the interface which permit spacecraft on both sides of the interface to efficiently transport heat therebetween via the interface.
