Abstract:
A tunable cavity resonator structure is disclosed having a tuning member movable within the cavity for tuning same. A tuner actuator structure is affixed to the tuning member and extends out of the cavity through an apertured wall thereof for effecting movement of the tuner. A thermally conductive stem, separate from the tuner actuator member, is affixed to the movable tuning member and extends out of the cavity through the apertured wall for conducting heat from the tuning member to the surrounds. The tuner actuator member is made of a material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion to eliminate temperature dependent tuning effects.
Abstract:
A VAPORIZATION COOLING SYSTEM FOR COOLING THE COLLECTOR STRUCTURE OF A BEAM POWER TUBE IS DISCLOSED. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES A COMPOSITE WEIR AND VAPOR SEPARATOR CONNECTED IN-LINE BETWEEN A BEAM COLLECTOR BOILER AND A VAPOR CONDENSER. THE COMPOSITE WEIR AND SEPARATOR INCLUDES A CHAMBER WITH A REENTRANT CONDUIT FOR DIRECTING EMULSIFIED COOLANT FROM THE BOILER AGAINST A DEFLECTOR FOR SEPARATING THE VAPOR FROM THE LIQUID COOLANT. THE VAPOR IS DIRECTED TO THE CONDENSER AND THE LIQUID IS STORED IN A WEIR PORTION OF THE CHAMBER AND FED BY GRAVITY BACK TO THE BOILER TO MAINTAIN A SAFE LIQUID LEVEL IN THE BOILER.
