The driven cold plate water sublimator (SDC) represents a novel configuration currently under theoretical investigation, with numerous aspects yet to be fully elucidated. This study adopts a numerical methodology to explore the operational mechanism of the cyclic mode in water sublimator. The results show that with the cyclic alternation of evaporation, solidification, and sublimation/thawing, the thickness of ice and the ice-water interface change randomly. In addition, validation against prior experimental measurements yielded maximum errors of 0.63% for the thermal model and 8.3% for ice thickness. These studies provide a theoretical basis for the operating law of the cyclic mode of the water sublimator.

摘要

The driven cold plate water sublimator (SDC) represents a novel configuration currently under theoretical investigation, with numerous aspects yet to be fully elucidated. This study adopts a numerical methodology to explore the operational mechanism of the cyclic mode in water sublimator. The results show that with the cyclic alternation of evaporation, solidification, and sublimation/thawing, the thickness of ice and the ice-water interface change randomly. In addition, validation against prior experimental measurements yielded maximum errors of 0.63% for the thermal model and 8.3% for ice thickness. These studies provide a theoretical basis for the operating law of the cyclic mode of the water sublimator.
