Thermal Control

Mainstream's thermal control programs include the research, development and manufacture of advanced heating and cooling systems as well as components for those systems. Passive systems include nanotube enhanced heat exchangers and phase change materials. Active systems include both single-phase and two-phase systems in both open-loop and closed-loop configurations. Thermal components include compressors, heat exchangers, and controls. Current research is being performed for NASA and DOD for terrestrial, airborne, and space-based environments.
