IDS Business Support, Communications and Community Affairs Box 516 St. Louis, MO 63166 Active Thermal Control System (ATCS) Overview EEATCS ( )/EATCS ( +) Active Thermal Control System Architecture Most of the Station's many systems produce waste heat, which needs to be transferred from the ISS to space to achieve Thermal Control and maintain components at acceptable temperatures. An Active Thermal Control System (ATCS) is required to achieve this heat rejection function when the combination of the ISS external environment and the generated heat loads exceeds the capabilities of the Passive Thermal Control System to maintain temperatures.
Early External Active Thermal Control System (EEATCS). The IATCS consists of loops that circulate water through the interior of the U.S. Destiny Laboratory module to collect the excess heat from electronic and experiment equipment and distributes this heat to the Interface Heat Exchangers for transfer to the EATCS.
