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$^{\circ}C$.
