Thermal - IDPU
Heat Transfer
Power Dissipation
•10.74 W
Conduction
•We are trying to keep the bottom deck warm
•Therefore the IDPU is thermally coupled to the bottom deck using a ChoTherm gasket
•ESA conducts heat away and radiates it to space
Radiation
•All surfaces covered with low ε VDA tape or blankets
•IDPU may need radiator, current Swales model includes one

Thermal - IDPU
Temperature Limits
•Predictions from Swales
•Cold prediction from 3 hour eclipse orbit
•Hot prediction from hottest orbit and attitude
•Average operating temperature around 30 °C
•Better predictions await more complete instrument thermal models

Thermal - IDPU
Temperature Monitoring and Control
•Modified Interface Monitoring
•Probe Bus will monitor the interface temperature near the IDPU
•Instrument Monitoring
•IDPU will process additional thermistors if needed
•Heaters
•No operational heaters are required
•Survival heaters will keep IDPU above Eclipse-Op Limits
•Two heater services provided by the probe bus
•Primary service thermostat closes at -23
•Secondary service thermostat closes at –28
•IDPU may share heater with the ESA, depends on final coupling
