SchlauFuchs Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi, I recently tried space exposed solar panels and learned that having a cooling solution from below did not have much of an effect. the first thing working kind of was having a puddle of oil sitting on their base and then a coolant circuit running above the base. But that brought up the question if the coolant needs to flow all across the base of the panel or if one tile of it is all that is heat exchanging. Has anyone studied that?

Gurgel Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't think you need to cool them anymore. I just have them free-floating and they do not seem to change temperature.

malloc Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 They don't generate heat but they do overheat if you let hot regolith or something else drop on them.

blash365 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Just keep them in vacuum without contact to any tile that might catch heat. They will stay at 45°C.

ShadowOfALegend Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 i plan to use slush water in hydrogen to star off the cooling then work up to added WW Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/97920-which-tile-of-a-solar-panel-exchages-heat/#findComment-1108459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
