A technique about spatial cold shield system with phase-change refrigeration by the cryogens is presented to lower the surface temperature of a spacecraft under 100 K
furthermore to lower the infrared radiation on the spacecraft under 0.5 W/m

in 30 minutes
then a 3-D layered reservoir model is established for the simulation of heat transfer. In this simulation process
the empirical equations are substituted to boundary conditions of stable heat-transfer relations to simulate the surface temperature and heat flux changing with the liquid level. Then an experimental unit model is constructed for process analysis. The simulation and experiment results show that the experimental temperature gradients are similar to the simulation results before the exhaustion of liquid nitrogen when liquid level of layered reservoir is less than 100 mm; surface tempe
rature of the system meets the requirement of infrared radiation in 15 min on the ground and 30 min in the space; solar radiation and capillary material influence the uniformity of surface temperature and holding time of liquid nitrogen to some degree.
