At this point, a frequently asked question is: "if the thermos flask is so good insulation, so how to cool the spacecraft?" Spaceship accumulation of heat from its electronic equipment, fuel cell, the rocket engine and the received solar radiation, etc.. All of these heat must have a place to go, otherwise the spacecraft will overheat. However, the spacecraft is a hot water bottle floating in the world's largest (in the vacuum of outer space). Then the space ship how to deal with it extra calories?

The original heat dissipation is a very important part of the space ship design process. For example, if you look at this page, you will see Skylab (Space Experiment Station) with a gold plated coating, used to reflect the infrared radiation from the sun, there is also a large radiator to dissipate the heat. Space radiator can only use infrared radiation to dissipate heat, so it must be a radiator on earth than similar large many. In the face of the earth, convection plays a main role in the cooling process, so almost all radiator use a fan to enhance convection effect. Similarly, the medial space ship cargo port door is also provided with a radiator. Once the spacecraft into orbit, one of the things the staff the first thing to do is to open the door of the radiation.

Some research institutions for the chemical analysis of Sheng 98 days five pounds in boiling water hot water flask wall furring, heavy metals contained amount of cadmium were 0.034 mg, Pb 0.12 mg, iron 24 mg, 0.21 mg and 0.44 micrograms arsenic, mercury. The scales have the possibility to increase the concentration of heavy metals in drinking water. When using a thermos flask scale change containing other liquid, especially plum juice, beer and other acidic liquid, some heavy metal elements in the scale of the precipitates due to chemical reaction, dissolved in water or other liquid to. When people long-term small put these heavy metals intake, it may cause the human digestive, respiratory and nervous system, hematopoietic lesion and dysfunction. So, on this scale must not look down upon! Therefore suggested that people should regularly to eliminate this kind of scale.
