Abstract

Maintenance of oil temperature, as a means of viscosity control, is an essential requirement for the 64-m antenna hydrostatic bearing. Operational experience with the heat exchanger used for cooling the oil showed that it was not functioning adequately or in accordance with the design, and a resultant study showed a probable internal structural failure. A new heat exchanger was designed, with JPL assistance on the structural problem, and is now operating satisfactorily.
