Taking the MFD flight opportunity, the following experiments will be performed in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center.
Atomic Oxygen Exposure Experiment (Material Sample Holder: MSH) This experiment evaluates material property changes due to exposure to atomic oxygen. After material samples are returned to the Earth, the deterioration of each material will be analyzed in detail.
Cosmic Dust Collection Experiment (Cosmic Dust Collector: CDC) This experiment acquires data on the material, velocity, and number of cosmic dust particles. During the flight, cosmic dust particles will be captured by the Dust Collector. The properties of the cosmic dust particles will be analyzed in detail after return to the Earth.
Two-Phase Fluid Loop Experiment (TPFLEX)
The Two-Phase Fluid Loop Experiment (TPFLEX) will verify basic thermal characteristics of a two-phase thermal control system. The key concern of a control system is how evaporators will be affected by the microgravity environment. Thus, the primary objective is to obtain thermal properties of the evaporator in the microgravity environment. Since the studies of a two-phase thermal control system in space have just started, the TPFLEX is internationally recognized as a pioneering experiment. The Multi-layer Insulator (MLI) and the Optical Solar Reflector (OSR) have been used as a passive thermal control system for satellites and spacecrafts. For future large satellites, the ability to discharge a large amount of heat into space and to transfer heat to a distant location is required. The two-phase thermal control system, which controls the thermal condition of a spacecraft by the use of the latent heat of a working fluid (water in this application) in a loop, is expected not only to satisfy thermal control requirements but also to consume much less electrical power than the conventional single-phase loop system. Experiment data will be used to confirm the two-phase thermal control technology and to design the components of a two-phase fluid loop (heat exchanger, condenser, and cooler) to be installed in the environment control system of future spacecraft. Operation of Liquid LoopThe TPFLEX is composed of a liquid loop and several electrical and electronic components. A pump in the liquid loop circulates a working fluid (water)in the loop along the directions of arrows. Heat load is applied to the evaporator to vaporize water. In the evaporator, the vapor phase of water is separated from the liquid phase, and the phases are transported back to the pump through the vapor transport line and liquid return line. Heat is transported to the condenser, where vapor is condensed to water in the form of water's latent heat, where vapor is condensed to water, while heat is discharged from the vapor into space.
In 1994, a 4 ft X 12 ft evaporator was added to the sap house. In 1998, a "piggyback" pan was added to the 4 X 12 because, yes more taps were added. This increased the evaporating capabilities to over 300 gallons of water an hour. In 2001, a Reverse osmosis machine was added to the operation, which by now had expanded to 4000 taps connected by some 30 miles of tubing.
A new evaporator was purchased 3.5 ft X 14 ft wood pellet fired, more energy-efficient replacing both the 3 X 10 and 4 x 12 evaporators. We were at around 9000 taps. For the 2021 season, a 2nd evaporator is being installed again this will be a 3 ft x 10 ft deluxe oil fired.

Heavy duty piggyback drive offers long term maintenance free operation. USDA approved design.
Does your evaporator have a heater core directly behind it. Ive had this type of system(piggyback) where the heater core gets clogged up and or the heater valve leaking by just a little. Turn your heater valves off or make sure they are not leaking by.
There are eight different means of processing sap to syrup. The wood-fired and oil-fired evaporators are basic means of boiling sap. The sap pre-heater increases the efficiency of boiling sap, by recycling steam from the evaporator to warm the fresh sap. The piggyback (steam-enhanced) unit uses both recycled steam and forced air to warm and concentrate the sap before it enters the evaporator. The reverse osmosis, freeze concentration, vacuum evaporator, and vapor compression evaporator use different means to concentrate the sap before it enters the evaporator.
We have included "functional" designs of the different systems to help you understand the overall process of syrup production. We also hope these designs will get you thinking about other energy-efficient systems to produce syrup from sap.
For detailed designs of the different evaporators, contact the manufacturers or access the U.S. Patent Office web page

If you do not have a control panel, your pump is most likely operated by a pump switch with a piggyback plug. The piggyback plug goes directly into the outlet and the pump plugs directly into the back of the piggyback plug. Remove the piggyback plug and plug the pump directly into the outlet. If your pump starts and the liquid level drops, you have a defective pump switch. If the pump does not start or just hums, you have a problem with the pump.
Cooling towers consume power to operate the fans. Induced draft towers should be selected since they typically use half the fan horsepower force draft towers use. Some form of fan speed control is also recommended such as piggyback motors, multi-speed motors or Variable Speed Drives (VFDs). In addition, a sensible controls logic is required to take advantage of the variable speeds.
Figure 39 shows two chillers in series. All the system flow goes through both chillers. As a result, the water pressure drops through the evaporators are additive. The chilled water loop can be either constant or variable flow. Variable flow systems increase the complexity but offer significant pump savings. Variable flow systems are covered in Primary/Secondary Systems and Variable Primary Flow Design. A condenser loop is required for water cooled chillers. This includes a condenser pump, piping and a cooling tower or closed circuit cooler. The condenser loop operates whenever the chillers operate.
A problem with series chillers is the high flow rate and the low temperature range through the chillers. The high flow rate can result in high water pressure drops. Since the chillers are in series, the pressure drops of the chillers must be added. If the typical 10oF system temperature difference is maintained, then single pass evaporators should be considered. This will lower the pressure drop to an acceptable level.
NASA's modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft carrying the Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida Tuesday evening, concluding a more than 2,500-mile cross-country ferry flight from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California. The piggyback pair left Edwards Monday morning and flew to Biggs Army Air Field adjacent to El Paso, Texas, where it remained overnight.
Space shuttle Atlantis, riding atop a modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, landed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas this morning for a refueling stop. Next, the piggybacked duo will fly from Lackland to Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi, continuing the cross-country journey from Edwards Air Force Base in California to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Ferry Flight Readiness Review is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. PDT) Saturday, at which time managers will decide when the ferry flight will occur and the direction of takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California. The shuttle carrier aircraft, or SCA, and its piggyback passenger Atlantis could be ready for takeoff as early as Sunday, May 31.
The shuttle's flash evaporator system's primary A controller has shut down. They swapped to system B, which is working fine. They will likely ask the crew to go back and try A later. Signature readings indicate that it might be ice in the core. A core flush may alleviate the ice. The flash evaporators reject heat loads from cooling loops during ascent and reentry. They are located in the shuttle's aft fuselage. This issue is being worked by ground teams and does not pose an immediate concern. It also does not in any way impact today's spacewalk.
