Abstract

The Carbon Dioxide Removal, Compression, and Storage (CRCS) system was designed to remove carbon dioxide (CO2(g)) from the spacecraft cabin atmosphere and compress and store the CO2(g) for further processing. Previous conference papers describe the hardware design and functional testing of the single and dual beds. This paper discusses the integrated system test results when dry CO2(g) latent air (2600ppm CO2(g)) enters the system at 30SCFM.
