Rapid Repressurization of Space Simulation Chambers

Source

Trouble-free, rapid repressurization of space simulation chambers is possible using a commercially available muffler. Expected adverse dynamic and acoustic phenomena were eliminated during chamber tests. Heat transfer during the repressurization period was by forced convection; after the repressurization it was primarily by free convection. Fogging occurred during ambient air repressurization when the cryowall was cold. An open-cycle fan heater should eliminate this fog annoyance.
