During the design of the space thermal control system, it is difficult to simulate the real space environment in the ground test because of complex space condition of the heat flux, vacuum and micro-gravity, et al. It is necessary to apply the numerical simulation to the design of the thermal control system. The paper describes the thermal analysis by using the SINDA/FLUINT for a typical condenser in an active thermal control loop. It also shows an optimization choice of the flow direction according to the numerical simulation. The result carries out a good way to anti-freeze for this kind of condenser.
