Composite Structure Having Predetermined Temperature/Time Profiles, And Method Of Making Same

US Patent:
5270550, Dec 14, 1993
Filed:
Jun 18, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/900579
Inventors:
Richard T. Martorana - Andover MA
Harland E. Alpaugh - Wilmington MA
Edward S. Hickey - Dover MA
David R. Fairbanks - Cambridge MA
Ingrid L. Gorman - Wilmington MA
Kristie A. DePrete - Bedford MA
Assignee:
The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
F28D 2100
US Classification:
2505051
Abstract:
A composite structure having predetermined temperature/time profiles is made by combining in chemically separate yet intimate thermal relation a plurality of phase change mediums which change phase at differing temperatures in the overall range of the predetermined temperature/time profiles. Each of the phase change mediums changes phase at a different temperature in sequence for defining the thermal storage capacity of the structure and generally approximating the predetermined temperature/time profiles throughout the overall temperature range.
