Abstract

As a basic study to develop heating panel, the purpose of this study was to know possibility as a floor heating panel. We investigated working conditions and performance of pulsating heat pipe. Tests were conducted under the next conditions; Working fluid were R-22 and R-134a, charging ratio 40% and 50%, temperature of inlet water $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, flow rates $1{\sim}3kg/min$. The experimental results indicate that the pulsating heat pipe charged 50% showed better performance than 40%, R-22 is more suited to the working fluid than R-134a, and it has a possibility which can be applied to floor heating panel using a pulsating heat pipe.
