Study on the Influence of Product Thermal Effect on Thermal Vacuum Test

Abstract

Abstract Due to different applications, the size, shape and surface state of the power supply on spacecraft vary greatly, but they all need to experience a harsh environment, such as extreme vacuum, cold and hot alternation. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo the thermal vacuum test on the ground. During the thermal vacuum test, the aerospace power supply products with different surface states have different internal temperature rise effects due to their own emissivity and absorption during testing. The higher the temperature rise effect, the lower the product reliability. Therefore, in order to reduce the temperature rise effect of products in the process of thermal vacuum test, the temperature rise effect of products with different surface states or the same surface state can be reduced by using different shading measures in the thermal vacuum test of products is analysed and verified by experiments. The test results show that the product with bright surface has lower temperature rise effect than the product with blackened surface, which can reduce the maximum temperature difference, enhance the uniformity of temperature field and enhance the reliability of the product. In addition, using measures such as covering the product with aluminized film or overhanging it can reduce the surface temperature difference, with the overhanging shade being more effective.
