Abstract
This study presents design, construction and testing of a immiscible two working fluids thermosyphon with water and FC-40 to prevent freezing of vehicle starting up at temperatures below freezing point of water. The two working fluids thermosyphon was experimentally investigated on the startup characteristics at low temperatures below $0^{\circ}C$ and then the thermosyphon was stable during startup and operated reliable at temperature of $-30^{\circ}C$. The testing also showed that the performance and characteristics of the two working fluids thermosyphon differ from the charging ratio and mixture ratio of the two working fluids.
