The Research of Spherical Door Shroud in Huge Space Environmental Simulator

Abstract The article mainly introduces the research for a spherical shroud used in a huge space environmental simulator. The shroud is of the pipe-sheet structure with stainless pipes welded along copper fins. In order to enlarge the capacity of the experiment, the door shroud adopts spherical structure. We used a simulator to optimize the structured design. The pressure drop and temperature pattern of the fluid also have been checked to ensure the performance index of the shroud. The shroud is divided into several pieces to manufacture. The pieces are assembled while transporting to site. This way can solve the problem of large dimension equipment's transportation.
