- Abstract
Oxygen generation assembly was an important system to provide oxygen on long duration human space station. It was an complicated system including electrolyzer, oxygen-water separator, oxygen cleaner and other subsystems. New method was need to supply water for electrolyzer and separate oxygen from oxygen/water attributed to the complexity of the flowing and separating of gas-liquid under micro/zero gravity. In this work, solid polymer electrolyzes with static water supplier was used as electrolyzer, and a static oxygen-water separator was also proposed. The model was estimated to supply oxygen of 3.0 kg/day for 4 astronomers.
