Under the ARREM project and the follow-on Life Support Systems Project (LSSP), testing of sub-scale and full-scale systems has been combined with multiphysics computer simulations for evaluation and optimization of subsystem approaches. In particular, this paper will describe the testing and 1-D modeling of the combined water desiccant and carbon dioxide sorbent subsystems of the carbon dioxide removal assembly (CDRA), as well as initial 3-D modeling and test validation approaches for vacuum desorption. The goal is a full system predictive model of CDRA to guide system optimization and development.application/pdfengPresentation
