Optimal Characteristics Calculation of the Air Chemical Regeneration System of Sealed Habitable Objects

Abstract

Using the developed mathematical model of a flow-type chemisorption reactor and RPK-P regenerative product (nanocrystalline potassium superperoxide attached to the fibers and pore surfaces of the fibrous polymer matrix), a series of computational experiments was carried out to study the effect of the load (the number of people in the shelter, their breathing patterns) and design parameters of a chemisorption reactor for the duration of the protective action of the life support system of people. The problem of calculating the optimal design parameters of a chemical air regeneration system that provides the composition of the atmosphere for oxygen and carbon dioxide in an airtight inhabited facility at a level comfortable for human breathing for a guaranteed time in the presence of uncertain (“inaccurate”) information about the respiratory load and heat generation of people located in a sealed facility is formulated. An algorithm for solving it has been developed.
