Environmental control is confirmed technology to solve the survival of people in some special environment protection problems. At high temperature, low temperature or desert, polar explorers, coal mines and other narrow confined Spaces also have very good prospects.
the astronauts can live in the earth's life in space, and environmental control system, control birth insurance is in outer space to create a suitable for human life and living environment.
In the shenzhou 10 and & other Tiangong & throughout; , the astronauts can breathe to the same air and the earth, can drink clean water, can eat the steaming hot meal & Hadeartefact; & Hadeartefact; With an important technology cannot leave & mdhistriadn; & mdhistriadn; Environmental control system.
Environmental control birth Watson instrument full name is the environment control and life support system, is an important subsystem of manned spacecraft. Its mission is to create a suitable for human life in outer space and living environment.
It is understood that after the combination of 10 spacecraft shenzhou and tiangong, will work together to implement 9 big functions, including air pressure regulating, ventilation purification, temperature and humidity control, water management, measurement and control, waste collection and detection and fire fighting management, spacesuit support functions, fireworks, food management functions, etc.
Space control raw protection engineering research director Dong Wenping said, control birth insurance & other Directly to ensure the safety of the astronauts, health, and at the same time guarantee the realization of the function of some aircraft platforms & throughout; .
1 air pressure regulating function
Oxygen for human use, including the need to air in the ship, by a cylinder with you, and then the voltage regulation and pressure control.
Ensure the vehicle internal ventilation flow. At the same time, the oxidation of exhaled carbon dioxide, trace gases, microorganisms, and a slightly to get rid of dust, the air quality meet the requirements of all the sex and sexual health.
2 ventilation purification function
Three temperature and humidity control function
The vehicle interior air temperature and humidity control within a people more comfortable. At the same time, the person produces, breathe out of water vapor, condensation and then collect people out of the sweat, dropped the condensate collection.
Water management function of 4
As an astronaut to store water, provide the function of the drink at the same time as an astronaut, because in zero gravity, water to drink to special device to complete.
5 measure and control function
Is the nerve center of the whole system. Made of special sensor to measure in various environment, and gas composition.
6 waste collection and management function
People produce all kinds of waste. Such as urine are collected and then to remove the smell. In addition, some scraps of diners when collecting and processing.
7) support
When pressure emergency by this part of the function to provide ventilation and oxygen cabin space suit.
8 fireworks detection and fire extinguishing function
To test the fire in the space, at the same time for fire extinguishing and personal protection.
9 food management functions
The astronaut food heating.
