Scientific paper

Phase separation in zero gravity is discussed and the active phase separator for a liquid helium cooled infrared observatory for Spacelab is described. For long-term (more than one year) applications, a hybrid cooling system is required in which refrigerants boiling at higher temperatures are employed. The suitability of hydrogen and neon are investigated as well as that of a secondary solid refrigerant. Analysis indicates that such a hybrid cooling system, using solid neon, can be realized and has substantial advantages compared with a one-stage He2 cooling system.
