摘要

菲利普斯实验室电力系统分部(PL/VTVP)正在对高性能碱金属热电转换(AMTEC)电池进行真空测试。这些AMTEC电池由先进模块化电力系统公司(AMPS)建造，轨道科学公司(OSC)、尼科尔斯研究公司(NRC)、空间与核电研究所(ISNPS)和PL/VTVP提供设计意见。在原型环境中进行测试，以证明可行性，确定性能和耐久性的瓶颈，并提供设计反馈。讨论了PX系列电池的两次主要设计迭代的测试结果。数据显示，电池设计的持续改进不断提高了电力输出和转换效率。迄今为止，在PL/VTVP测试的px系列电池的最佳性能是4.3瓦的电力输出和/spl sim/14%的转换效率。这些数据意味着每个电池6瓦和22%效率的设计目标将被超越。

Vacuum testing of high efficiency multi-base tube AMTEC cells

The Phillips Laboratory Power Systems Branch (PL/VTVP) is performing vacuum testing of high performance alkali metal thermoelectric conversion (AMTEC) cells. These AMTEC cells are being built by Advanced Modular Power Systems, Inc. (AMPS) with design input from Orbital Sciences Corporation (OSC), Nichols Research Corporation (NRC), Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies (ISNPS), and PL/VTVP. Tests are performed in a prototypical environment to demonstrate feasibility and identify bottlenecks to performance and endurance as well as to provide design feedback. Test results for two major design iterations of the PX series cells are discussed. The data shows that continued improvements made to the cell design have continually increased electric power output and conversion efficiency. To date, the best performance from a PX-series cell tested at PL/VTVP was an electric power output of 4.3 watts and a conversion efficiency of /spl sim/14%. These data imply that design goals of 6 watts and 22% efficiency per cell will be surpassed.
