Обґрунтування методу термічної дистиляції з термоелектричним тепловим насосом для тривалих космічних місій

Abstract

This article describes the main methods of thermal distillation that can be used for long-term space missions with humans. Their advantages and disadvantages are shown, the basic information on the characteristics of the systems, namely: productivity of the distillate, specific energy consumption per unit mass of the distillate and the quality of the distillate by evaporation (concentration) of aqueous NaCl solution, urine and mixtures - urine with condensate, with condensate and hygienic water. Restrictions that do not allow them to be used for flights and possible ways to solve them are indicated.
