Scientific paper

The next generation of PX-series AMTEC cell (PX-3, PX-4, and PX-5 series) has been studied. Experimental data showed that improvements made to the cell design have continually increased electric power output and conversion efficiency. Work included analysis of efficiency, investigation of the effects of negative temperature margin, evaluation of performance degradation and performance comparisons between cells. To date, the best PX-series cells tested at AFRL/VSDV provided an electric power output of 5.05 watts (PX-4C) and a conversion efficiency of 15% (PX-3A). Steady and continuous improvement in design and test results imply that design goals of 6 watts and 22% efficiency per cell will be surpassed.
