- Description
- NASA/MSFC has a requirement for SPACE THERMAL SIMULATION MODULE AND QUARTZ LAMPS The simulator module shall be a lightweight, low-blockage-area, modular, radiant heating unit. The simulator module reflector shall be designed to use T3-style halogen lamps on a stainless steel substrate to provide heat. The reflector and other components of the simulator module shall be composed of low outgassing materials such as Gold, Stainless Steel, Steatite, Quartz and Ceramic coating. The simulator module shall be rated for continuous duty for approximately 3500 hours. The simulator module shall be arrayed to produce from near zero to approximately 450 watts per square foot on a target surface. Electrical connection shall be made to the simulator module via combination mounting clamp/power bus clips or via holes provided on the electrical bus bar. The simulator module shall be 100 percent compatible with lamp array fixtures in use in the Environmental Test Facility. Diagram of the Space Thermal Simulation Module attached. Research Inc., Model 5236-05-A: 5 inch heater length, 9.13 inch overall length OR EQUAL. Research Inc., Model 5236-10-A: 10 inch heater length, 14.13 inch overall length OR EQUAL. Research Inc., Model 5236-16-A: 16 inch heater length, 20.13 inch overall length OR EQUAL. T3 QUARTZ INFRARED LAMP The quartz infrared lamp shall consist of a helically wound tungsten filament encased in a clear quartz envelope. The lamp shall have a high-intensity heat source with peak wavelengths between 0.78 and 2 microns. The lamp shall yield 90 percent output within three seconds and dissipates 90 percent energy within five seconds. The lamp heat flux densities shall range from 100-watts/linear inch to as high as 833-watts/linear inch. The tungsten filament shall be supported by either tantalum disks or through deflection winding of the filament, to create the support from the filament itself. The lamp electrical connections shall be made through flexible pigtail leads. The leads shall be installed so the leads have a small amount of slack to allow for thermal expansion during operation. Research Inc. Model 057541-001: 500 watts T3 Quartz lamp. 5" heated length OR EQUAL. Research Inc. Model 057541-004: 1600 watts T3 Quartz lamp. 16" heated length OR EQUAL.
