Design and Fabrication of Micro-Variable Radiator

Article Preview

Abstract:

Micro-variable Radiator with its small volume, light weight and less power consumption quite meets the requirement of Micro/Nano satellite thermal control. Prototypes fabricated by bulk silicon technology have poor thermal performance owing to their confines of material and process. In this paper, a novel micro-radiator based on laser micro processing technology and polymer material was proposed, its operational principle was introduced and the relationship between structural and thermal performance was analyzed theoretically. A prototype was fabricated by UV laser micro-processing, dip-coating and magnetron sputtering technologies. Test results show that the actuation voltage is 97V and variation of radiation power is about 0.1W.
