Creare LLC, a small business engineering research and development company based in Hanover, New Hampshire, was awarded a $949,966 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by NASA on May 8, 2018, with completion targeted for March 24, 2023. This set-aside contract for small businesses supports the development of an advanced microgravity-compatible evaporator for NASA's future remote sensing science missions. The evaporator is designed to maintain multiple instruments and electronics at stable temperatures while utilizing waste heat to keep critical subsystems operational, addressing a key thermal management challenge for two-phase pumped loop systems in space applications. Under this definitive firm fixed-price contract, Creare will optimize the evaporator design and fabricate a 0.5 meter by 0.5 meter prototype unit featuring innovative internal design elements that adaptively distribute liquid refrigerant to accommodate multiple heat loads with varying heat flux densities. The evaporator's advanced flow distribution capabilities will reduce system power requirements while providing structural support that minimizes cover plate mass and size. The prototype will undergo steady-state and transient performance testing within a representative pumped loop environment before delivery to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for further evaluation, building upon preliminary design and feasibility work completed during Phase I.
