Folding conical, radiators.<br />

As seen from Fig. 4.4, these radiators cons'st <strong>of</strong> a toroidal<br />

frame combined with collectors 1 <strong>and</strong> 2, radiator prnels 3, hinges 11,<br />

,ahd flexible elements 5.<br />

Fig; 4.11. Folding conical radiator.<br />

KEY: (1) View.<br />

In the launch state (Fig. 4.4a <strong>and</strong> b) radiator panels 3have<br />

the same contours as the carrier rocket fairing. In operating state<br />

the panels unfold at hinge 4 <strong>of</strong> "dry" design, without being washed<br />

( by liquid metal, which is an advantage. <strong>The</strong> seal <strong>of</strong> the panels <strong>and</strong><br />

Scollectors 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 is effected by corrugated -element 5. <strong>The</strong> pipes<br />

<strong>and</strong> the membranes <strong>of</strong> pangl 3 are made as in the earlier discussed,<br />

diagram.<br />

<strong>The</strong> advantage <strong>of</strong> this radiator is the comparatively simple<br />

des3ign. <strong>The</strong> entire surface is used for radiaticn. <strong>The</strong>re 'is -no metal<br />

loss in the unfolding mode.<br />

' ~<strong>The</strong> disadvantage ib th. difficulty in protecting the radiator from<br />

reactor radiation; therefore, its use is limited to power plants where<br />

the ir'radiation is permissible. Tise co!,.paratively large mass is also<br />

a disadvantage. This radiator is used in low-power installations.<br />
