This paper is dedicated to the development of cooling devices such as mLHP with Fan-Fin system limited by noise and vibration. As we know, Heat pipe has the limitation of cooling capability to cool down the electronics. It is bounded by capillary and thermal limitation but heat load that it has to deal with is increasing. Especially Today's electronic technology has a tendency to integrate lots of function into the small piece of a processor like Dual core having 35W heat load for mobile and desktop computer respectively. There is an optimum operating condition of temperature, below $70^{\circ}C$, during the maximum heat load, 35W. There is the motivation needed to develop the new type of cooling devices and we can discuss about the new challenge beyond heat pipe.

The Bubble Jet Loop Heat Pipe (BJLHP) is designed to operate in the horizontal orientation. The motion of the bubble generated by boiling working fluid on a heater surface in the evaporating section of the BJLHP helps the working fluid transfer heat to the condensing portion. In this study, we changed the position of the heater in the evaporating section from concentric to eccentric. The concentric heater is located at the center of the tube in the evaporating part, and the eccentric heater is located at the bottom of the inner surface of the same tube. We used R-134a as the working fluid, and the charging ratio was 50%vol. We measured the temperatures of the evaporating and condensing sections by changing the input electric power from 50 W to 200 W, measuring every 50 W. The results of the experiment show that the effective thermal conductivity of BJLHP using an eccentric heater is four times higher than the BJLHP obtained using a concentric heater. Additionally, we conducted a visualization experiment on the evaporating portion of BJLHP to determine why the effective thermal conductivity was higher. The working fluid was water, and we took pictures of the flow visualization for BJLHP. Nucleate boiling with the eccentric heater was more intense and generated more bubbles. Therefore, the eccentric heater was more saturated by the liquefied working fluid.

본 연구에서는 현장타설 에너지파일의 열교환 파이프 배치 형태별 열교환율을 전산유체해석 프로그램(FLUENT)을 이용하여 평가하고, 이를 이용하여 에너지파일의 설계법을 제시하였다. 등가열교환율을 산정하기 위해 동일한 현장타설말뚝 제원에 대해 열교환파이프 배치 형태를 W-형(직렬), 복합 U-형(병렬 4쌍), 나선형의 3가지로 고려하였다. 건물측 부하조건은 여름철 냉방운용를 모사하기 위해 순환수의 에너지파일 유입온도, 즉 히트펌프 유출온도(Leaving water temperature, LWT)를 $35^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지하여 에너지파일 유출온도, 즉 히트펌프 유입온도(Entering water temperature, EWT) 변화를 관찰하였다. 지반에 최대 가상부하를 적용한 경우(100시간 연속 냉방부하 조건)에는 3가지 열교환기 형태가 유사한 열교환율을 보인 반면, 실제 히트펌프 가동에 의한 건물 냉방운용을 모사하기 위해 간헐적으로 일일 8시간 운용-16시간 정지를 7일간 반복 해석한 경우에는 W-형(직렬연결)과 복합 U-형(병렬 4쌍) 열교환기는 유사한 열교환율을 보이나, 나선형 열교환기는 파이프 루프 상호 간 열간섭으로 인해 복합 U-형 열교환기에 비해 약 86%의 열교환율을 갖는 것으로 평가되었다. 전산유체해석에 의해 계산된 열교환파이프 배치 형태별 에너지파일의 등가열교환율을 에너지파일 설계프로그램(PILESIM2)에 적용하여 다양한 형상의 현장타설 에너지파일에 대한 설계법과 대표적인 설계변수에 대한 설계도표를 제시하였다.

Loop thermosyphon(LTS) has many good characteristics such as low thermal resistance, no power consumption, noiseless operation and small size. To investigate the overall performance of LTS, we have performed various experiments varying three parameters: input power of the heater, working fluid(water, ethanol, FC3283) and filling ratio of the working fluid. At a combination of these parameters, temperature measurements are made at many locations of the LTS. The temperature difference between the evaporator and the condenser is used to obtain the thermal resistance. In addition, flow visualization using a high speed camera is carried out. The thermal resistance is not constant. It is lower at higher input power, which is one of the distinct merits of LTS. Flow instabilities are frequently observed when changing the working fluid, the input power and the filling ratio. The results show that the LTS can be readily put into practical use. Future practical application in electronic cooling is recommended.

Recently mini-channels or micro-channels are widely used for cooling the high density power electronic devices. Especially, the channels are used in small and high efficient equipments such as heat pipes and heat exchangers. Interfacial velocities between liquid and gas phases are very important in mini or micro-channels. In this paper, an experiment and a numerical analysis on the interfacial velocities were performed. In the experiment, the interfacial velocities which were measured by the high-speed CCD camera were about $26{\sim}33$ cm/s and the velocities increased as the inclination angle did. In the numerical experiment, CFD-ACE+, a commercial program, was used, the velocities had similar values with experimental results. As the inclination angle and the contact angle increased, the interfacial velocities did because of the surface tension which causes to move the interface. The effect of inclination angle was larger in the converging channels than in straight channels.

In this study, we have manufactured the LHP(Loop Heat Pipe) with sintered metal wick and investigated the working characteristics of LHP experimentally.Water was used as a working fluid and fill charge rate was changed. LHP basically consist of the separated vapor/liquid channels, evaporator having sintered metal wick(effective pore diameter :$16{\sim}19{\mu}m$), and condenser cooled by water. The diameter of vapor/liquid line tube are 3.2mm/6.35mm, respectively. Heat transfer rate and thermal resistance was represented to study the basic characteristics of LHP at each conditions

In this paper, the effects of diverse parameters on the operation of loop heat pipe (LHP), such as particle diameter of sintered porous wick, wick porosity, vapor line diameter, thickness of wick and heating capacity were investigated by a theoretical analysis. A LHP has a wick only in its evaporator for the circulation of working fluid, and utilizes a porous wick structure of which pore size is very small to obtain a large capillary force. The working fluid is water and the material of sintered porous wick is copper. For these different parameters, capillary pressure, pressure drop in wick, pressure drops and temperature distribution were analyzed by a theoretical design method of LHP.

The Loop Heat Pipe(LHP) system uses capillary forces so as to pump the working fluid from heat acquisition to heat rejecting systems. The performance of the LHP systems depends mainly upon the operating performance of the wick structure. The capillary pressure increases with decreasing the pore size of the wick structure. By the way, the wick structure's permeability decreases with decreasing the pore size and the porosity. To obtain an ideal wick, the wick structure should possess several characteristics such as the small pore size, high porosity and chemical compatibility with working fluid. Sintered metal wicks have been mainly used as the capillary wick structure mounted in LHP because of the fact that the sintered metal wick has some advantages like convenient selection of wick material, smaller pore size and so on as well as high reliability. In this study, sintered metal wicks were developed to meet required several parameters to design the high performance LHP systems for obtaining even more effective cooling technologies.
