NASA has awarded a Firm Fixed Price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Creare LLC, a small business engineering firm, to develop an advanced two-phase pumped loop evaporator for future remote sensing science missions. The evaporator is designed to maintain multiple instruments at very stable temperatures and utilize waste heat to keep other critical subsystems operational. Creare will develop a lightweight, compact evaporator with innovative internal features to adaptively distribute liquid refrigerant and prevent dryout in high heat flux areas. This will reduce the power required to operate the pumped loop system. In Phase I, Creare will demonstrate the feasibility of the evaporator design and key performance characteristics through testing. Phase II will involve optimizing the design, fabricating a full-scale unit, and delivering it to NASA JPL for further evaluation. The potential value of this Phase I SBIR contract is $124,970.
