Highlights
A model of human biological life support system (BLSS) was created with a photoautotrophic link including unicellular algae and higher plants having an equal oxygen production
A sealed volume equipped for human sojourn inside it, was connected with a photosynthetic reactor containing the unicellular algae Chlorella and with a conservatory containing higher plants so that they made up a single system with common gas exchange and water balance
Besides biological links the model included some physical and chemical processes: purification, disinfection and conditioning of potable water from the condensate at the output of the photosynthetic reactor, and the centers of thermic processing ofthe algae biomass, solid human wastes and urine aimed at the return to the cycle of the free water
Summary
A sealed volume equipped for human sojourn inside it, was connected with a photosynthetic reactor containing the unicellular algae Chlorella and with a conservatory containing higher plants so that they made up a single system with common gas exchange and water balance. The research into the main characteristics of the system was conducted step by step: fIrst "man - algae", ,,man - bigher plants"
