Review of vapor compression refrigeration in microgravity environments

Leon P. M. Brendel et al.

Summary: The lack of measured data and detailed documentation makes it difficult for researchers to identify necessary next steps in studying vapor compression refrigeration in space. This paper provides a review of vapor compression systems flown in microgravity, outlining their history and presenting performance data, as well as highlighting gaps in the literature and suggesting future research directions.

A comparative assessment of space-conditioning technologies

Bachir El Fil et al.

Summary: This investigation provides a quantitative comparison of 14 air-source heat pump technologies, finding that in the heating mode, vapor absorption with the ammonia-water working pair outperforms vapor compression. Elastocaloric and thermoelectric devices also demonstrate high power density in heating mode compared to vapor compression.
