In deep space exploration processes such as lunar exploration, asteroid exploration and planetary exploration, a long-time extremely-low-temperature environment is one of important challenges that detection equipment must face. Taking the moon as an example, the temperature of the nights (14 earth days in length) near the equator and the shadow areas where the sun cannot shine is-160 ℃ to-180 ℃, and the temperature of the polar permanent shadow areas is even lower than-200 ℃. Under similar extreme temperature environment, need use heat preservation device, guarantee that the electrical communication control part of detection equipment is in required temperature range. Aerospace insulation devices typically consist of passive insulation components and active insulation components, where the active insulation components are the main sources of heat.
The energy sources of the common active thermal insulation component are electric energy of a photovoltaic cell, heat energy of isotope decay, phase change thermal storage and electric energy of a chemical battery. The photovoltaic cell needs solar radiation and is not suitable for the background scene where the invention is suitable; the heat energy of isotope decay has the advantages of light weight, high capacity, expensive price and limited yield, and is not suitable for large-area application; the energy stored by the phase change heat storage is limited, and the phase change latent heat of the phase change material with the phase change temperature near the normal temperature is between 125 and 265 kJ/kg; the chemical battery can store more energy, however, even if the high specific energy primary battery module of 250wh/kg is used for estimation, the unit weight can provide only 900kJ/kg of heat energy, and the discharge performance of the chemical battery has larger attenuation under the low temperature condition.
