About
Two-phase (vapor/liquid) hermetic closed evaporating/ condensing thermal transfer system filled with a working fluid (usually by Ammonia or Propylene). Small pipes diameter allows to bend transport lines that simplifies essentialy CHP integration into the spacecraft; Condensers of different design (radiators, flow heat exchanges, contact saddles etc.) can be integrated into CHP.
