Abstract

The present study was conducted to obtain the fundamental knowledge on the manufacturing and operating characteristics of a small scale CPL (Capillary Pumped Loop) heat pipe. CPL heat pipes are able to transfer heat effectively at any orientation in a gravitational field over long distances. An experimental model with an evaporator of a circular plate shape was designed and manufactured and its operating performances were tested. A Bronze powder sintered metal plate of 3 mm thick and $\Psi$ 50 mm was used as wick and ethanol was used as working fluid. An experimental apparatus was set up to ascertain the operating conditions oi CPL at different heat load and an surrounding temperature at the condenser was maintained about 13$^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 소형 CPL히트파이프의 제작 및 작동 특성에 대한 기초 지식을 얻기 위하여 수행되었다. CPL 히트파이프는 중력장 내에서 먼 거리까지 효과적으로 열을 이송할 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있다. 컴퓨터 칩에서 발생되는 열을 냉각하기 위하여 원판형 증발부로 구성된 소형 CPL을 설계 및 제작하여 그 작동 성능을 실험하였다. 두께 3mm, 직경 50mm의 원판형 청동 분발 소결 (equation omitted)를 사용하여 작동유체를 순환하기 위한 압력 구배를 얻을 수 있었으며 작동유체는 에탄올을 사용하였다. 실험은 응축부의 주위온도를 13$^{\circ}C$로 고정시킨 후 각각 다른 열부하에서의 CPL 작동 상태를 확인해 보았다.
