Spaceborne Passive Radiative Cooler

Abstract

Radiative coolers are passive refrigeration devices for satellites and space probes that provide refrigeration for an infrared or other type of detector that operates at cryogenic temperatures. Typically a cooler can supply 20 mW of cooling at about 85 K, and over 500 mW of cooling at about 165 K. The exact cooler temperatures and heat loads are dependent upon the clear field of view of the cooler to space. Some features of the Arthur D. Little passive radiative cooler are given.
