SwRI engineers have designed,
fabricated, and tested this carbon dioxide
compressor to be used in a new water production
system installed on board the International
Space Station. To meet the challenging design
requirements and constraints, the compressor was
designed as a water-cooled, electric
motor-driven, oil-less, two-stage, reciprocating
machine.
