To realize the full benefits of capillary pump loop (CPL) devices, for use in spacecraft thermal control subsystems, a reliable, load sharing, multiple evaporator system must be developed and successfully demonstrated in space. The Capillary Pumped Loop Flight Experiment 3 (CAPL III) will be the second attempt to flight demonstrate a multiple evaporator CPL in space environment. Using the lessons learned from CAPL I, which was flown aboard STS-60 in February 1994, new hardware and concepts are being developed for CAPL III to enable load sharing between evaporators, reliable system start-up/re-start, and reliable continuous operation. Started in May 1996, CAPL III is primarily a joint venture between the Naval Research Laboratory and the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center, with Swales and Associates, Inc. as an industry partner. The program is scheduled to meet an STS flight opportunity in mid-1998. This paper will present the requirements and the preliminary design description of the CAPL III CPL system.
