This federal contract award to Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. (ACT), a small business based in Neffsville, Pennsylvania, is for the development of hybrid-wick constant conductance heat pipes (CCHP) capable of operating at higher heat fluxes compared to traditional axial groove designs. The $949,945 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract is funded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to address the increasing thermal management requirements of future spacecraft missions. The hybrid CCHP design, featuring a sintered evaporator wick and a grooved adiabatic and condenser wick, will enable the use of higher-power laser diodes and allow for the operation of variable conductance heat pipes in planetary landers and rovers at tilts up to 45 degrees. This innovative technology is intended to provide a higher transport capability than an all-sintered wick design, while also enabling operation in space and on planetary surfaces.
