Scientific paper

A Cylindrical Inverted Converter (CIC), made by Lutch, with the emitter on the outside was tested in a vacuum furnace supplying radiant heat to the emitter outer surface. The collector, coaxial with the emitter, has an integral heat pipe with sodium as the working fluid, which carries the heat dissipated in the collector to a radiating area with a coating of alumina and sub-stoichiometric TiO2. The CIC is a proof-of-principle device which will lead to the development of multi-cell inverted converter assemblies for space solar power systems. The thermionic performance at emitter temperatures of 1800 and 1900 K is presented. .
