Purification of Liquid Fuel and Special Liquids from Solid Harmful Inclusions and Concentration of Chlorella in Conditions of the Acceleration of Gravity Decrease and Weightlessness

Abstract

Purification of liquid fuel and special liquids from solid harmful inclusions in aircrafts and spacecraft under conditions of reduced acceleration of gravity and weightlessness is a very important, and also a critical task for an aircraft or rocket engine and life support systems of astronaut crews. An equally important role is played by the concentration of Chlorella from its nutrient medium during space flight to add this concentrate to the diet of astronauts for their normal functioning on board the ISS (International Space Station) for a long time. The paper presents the developed methods and devices permitting to clean harmful solid particles from the fuel liquid in the fuel tank of an aircraft or rocket engine using the effect on liquid fuel of the acceleration of gravity decrease or the effect on special liquids of the spacecraft’s life support system of DC(Direct Current) in the space flight simple, economically highly effectively, productively and mobile (i.e., can be used in any parts of aircraft power supply system and life support systems of spacecraft). The developed method and device of concentration of Chlorella from its nutrient medium during space flight permit to produce highly quality concentrate Chlorella simple, productive to add to the diet of astronauts for their normal functioning on board of the ISS (International Space Station) for a long time.
