A WATER RECYCLING SYSTEM FOR USE IN SEALED ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Production of potable water by a vacuum distillation process that was used during several experiments in a two-man space cabin simulator is discussed Wash water, condensate collected from the relative humidity control coils, and urine were collected by simulator crew occupants and processed through a vacuum distillation apparatus on board the simulator, to supply drinking water for crew members during experiments lasting 17 days and 30 days.
