May 27, AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) aboard the U.S. space shuttle Endeavour lifted off smoothly into the tenth day. After launch, AMS has been successfully installed? Shandong University is responsible for the thermal control system is working, how? May 27, AMS thermal systems as Chief Scientist, Alexander Professor Cheng Lin said in an interview with reporters, AMS system has been installed to complete the International Space Station and the basic test. If successful, this year is expected to have an exciting new discovery.
To AMS for the purpose of thermal control system developed by the new loop heat pipe, will soon be industrial development? Once such a loop heat pipe industrial production, and what impact will live? Hot issues of concern for the reader, correspondent of Professor Cheng Lin had an exclusive interview.
Reporter: The new loop heat pipe, will soon be industrial development?
Cheng Lin: Because the heat pipe such as very high-end industrial lines, there is no country that industry. If we can carry out industrialization, then, is a remarkable achievement, but also a huge challenge. I do not think it can be completed quickly.
Reporter: Recently, the industrialization of the greatest difficulty is not what is it? Funds? Technology? Or other?
Cheng Lin: not a thing you can immediately come up to industrialization. Results in the laboratory to industry is very difficult, takes time. I think mainly for technical reasons. Just like home cooking, you had a very delicious fried dishes, it is not in the student cafeteria can fry it on a pot of this dish? May not. Why can not it do it? This is not the pot is not big enough. Personally, I think, first, is the furnace of fire and changed the ratio of the pot, and then the busy is not open fire can burn such a big pot; second pot is turned up to see the speed and skill, with a large shovel and a small shovel turn is completely different.
Reporter: loop heat pipe may be used for future life in what areas?
Cheng Lin: If the loop heat pipe will transfer speeds, transmission capacity can reach 6 meters, and a single transfer of energy to hundreds of watts or even kilowatts, then you no longer need to warm the water now, and the middle covered with a basic housing are less likely to damage the life of the heat pipe. More importantly, it itself is aluminum, copper, etc. to do, and can be placed on the surface in the room, do not bury it up, renovation, maintenance is very simple. In the future may not now pipe is buried. This thing in the future if successful, then it would be a revolutionary thing.
The second is the solar water heater. Solar water heater you are using. But we do not know, although solar energy is clean energy, but the water heater is a huge source of pollution, there is glass, there are many trace elements, can not be processed after bad. Because there are many things that need more than a thousand degrees of heat to completely melt. Now just use, no matter how the future process. But how do the future? Only the consequences of this pollution borne by future generations. But with the new delivery device, the sun is no longer needed a tube. It may be taken over the sun\\ s energy future, in a small heat exchanger inside, and then be used, so that things no longer be polluted.
