Fig. 4.2.<br />

A conical flexible unfolding radiator.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stressed frame which connects the radiator with other<br />

elements is a closed thin-wall conical shell 3, which, in order to<br />

increase rigidity, is under the pressure <strong>of</strong> neutral gas. <strong>The</strong> shell<br />

has rigid flanges 4. <strong>The</strong> side surface <strong>of</strong> the shell is a supplementary<br />

radiating surface. <strong>The</strong> shell is welded to one <strong>of</strong> the collectors.<br />

<strong>The</strong> a.vantages <strong>of</strong> this system is the low weight <strong>of</strong> the radiator<br />

<strong>and</strong> the possibility <strong>of</strong> reducing thermal strains as compared with<br />

the preceding diagram. <strong>The</strong> disadvantage is the one-sided use <strong>of</strong><br />

the radiation surface. This diagram, as the preceding can be used<br />

in a low-power ERE.<br />

Flat unfolding radiators<br />

<strong>The</strong>se radiators (Fig. 11.3) consist <strong>of</strong> two collectors 1 to which<br />

the F tal is fed <strong>and</strong> drained, cooling pipes 2 to which !he radiating<br />

surfa es 3'are soldered. Each plane <strong>of</strong> the radiator consists <strong>of</strong><br />

several (four on the diagram) panel sections connected by hinge 11<br />
