How does Elektron work?
I know that it's a standard electrolysys system, but there must be some
degree of complexity in the whole system. I've also seen it mentioned that there is a catalyst involved. Anyone care to explain how it works? Thanks, David |

Detailed technical document: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/ca...1994026875.pdf Fascinating tid bit.... This document implies that an improved Elektron was planned, but was not (at the time of writing) available to be baselined into ISS. This dates from 1994. What i found interesting is that they already used the name "Alpha" for the space station. I am not sure of the total relevance of the document to what is actually on board the ISS. It seemed to be more of a preliminary document comparing MIR-1 systems with those being considered for Freedom. It is interesting that they mentioned the Mir-1 O2 generator as having shown very good long term reliability. Also interesting that they mention that it is not maintainable in space. If the cores of the Mir O2 generator and Elektron on ISS are roughly the same, then perhaps the problems on ISS arise from the new controls and sensors that were put in as a result of moving the unit from a manual control to a computer control with telemetry data being fed to computers etc etc. |
