Spray cooling is a high heat flux removal technique considered for systems such as advanced lasers and high power density electronics. Several experiments have been conducted using spray cooling in recent years and various designs of spray cooling devices are continually emerging. At this time, one of NASA's missions is to enhance future space science capabilities through the application of power lasers and electronics. However, the usage of systems having high heat fluxes can only be achieved with the corresponding development of high power thermal control systems. For the reliable performance of these high-heat-flux systems, proper thermal management is imperative. The study presented reviews the fabrication of a spray cooling system aimed at addressing issues pertinent to space applications. These issues include heat flux capability, orientation, and volumetric packaging. Computer modeling of spray cooling under microgravity conditions as well as comparison to the analogous 1-g condition was also performed to gain insight into microgravity behavior.
