Author(s): Nichols, Duane C.
Corporate Author(s): Whirlpool Corporation
Laboratory: Biomedical Laboratory
Date of Publication: 1965-03
Pages: 26
Contract: AF 33(657)-11479
DoD Project: 6373
DoD Task: 637304
Identifier: AD0615979
Abstract:
The project was inititated to design, fabricate, and test a thermoelectric system for the recovery of potable water from urine in aerospace applications. The unit built is an integral system, which yields quality potable water at a performance factor of 146 watt-hours per pound. It has a capacity of processing 12 liters of urine per day with a batch size of 1 liter per run. Further development work should be undertaken toward obtaining better efficiencies, a decrease in size, and a reduction in weight.
