N1 - This work was done under financial support of BelSPO (Belgium, Heat Transfer PRODEX) and IT SB RAS (Russia, 121031200084-2). The authors thank the European Space Agency for the 73rd Parabolic Flight Campaign and Novespace for invaluable help in the preparation of the experiment.

N2 - New concept of the experimental investigation has been proposed and successfully realized during the 73rd ESA parabolic flight campaign 2020. The evaporators' behavior is analyzed by evaluating the liquid level inside and by investigating the external condensation on the designed condenser's surface. Three evaporators made with different techniques have been tested. Analysis of the experimental data shows qualitative differences in considered evaporators. Aluminium foam provided uniform distribution of liquid close to its external surface. The evaporator with 3D- printed wick had a non-uniform distribution of liquid inside. Sintered brass wick showed the longest stabilization time.
