  • Solid subliming cooler with radiatively-cooled vent line
    Patent number: 4507941
    Abstract: The vent line of a space-borne solid subliming cooler is formed to provide a heat radiator which radiates much of the heat losses otherwise parasitically conducted back to the cooler thereby permitting the use of certain high heat capacity cryogens at operating and working temperatures requiring very low operating vapor pressures but without as much parasitic heat conduction loss as is associated with conventionally vented solid subliming coolers.
