Abstract
Spaced based burst power fuel cells generate large thermal loads in very short time periods. In order to avoid external venting or the use of heavy radiators in space vehicles, such fuel cells must include onboard closed-loop cooling systems. Utilizing multiple heat sinks containing subcooled ice as a cooling medium, sequentially contactable with a coolant that passes through the fuel cell, provides a safe, highly efficient and low weight heat absorption capability.
