Combined Two-Phase Thermal Control System with Parallel Capillary Pumps

O. Shilkin et al.

Summary: The two-phase control system for thermal regulation of spacecraft electronic equipment consists of three capillary pumps, a common radiator, and a radiant subcooler. Two identical capillary pumps are used, while the third smaller pump acts as an active temperature controller. The system is equipped with measuring equipment for experimental work.

A Review of Capillary Pressure Control Valves in Microfluidics

Shaoxi Wang et al.

Summary: Microfluidics provide controlled microenvironments with various functions, with capillary pressure control valves becoming popular for liquid control without the need for affiliated equipment. The analysis of CPCVs focuses on surface tension, contact angle, and microchannel shape parameters, aiming to simplify automation and expand the use of microfluidic networks. The review explores how CPCVs streamline processes, work with different driving modes, and enable controlled sampling and delivery in microfluidic fields.
