본 연구에서는 밀폐형 2상 열사이폰의 액체 Pool에서 발생하는 핵비등현상과 유동영역에 대해 가시화 방법으로 연구하였다. 실험용 열사이폰은 스텐레스와 유리관을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 열공급은 증발부 주위에 설치된 유도 가열용 코일에 고주파를 가함으로써 스텐레스 외면에 발열이 일어나도록 하였다. 이에 따른 결과는 다음과 같다. 실험용 열사이폰은 고주파 가열등 열사이폰의 작동성능을 저해하는 여러 요인들이 포함되어 있었으나, 실험결과 이러한 문제는 실험 내용에 영향을 미칠만큼 크게 나타나지 않았다. 열속과 상당압력의 범위는 각각2$m^2$, 0.1

The instability of two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLTs) was investigated experimentally. Three orifice type inserts were used to study the effect of change in the pressure drop in the flow channel of the TLT on the flow instability and temperature fluctuation. It is observed that a decrease in the size of the orifice insert from 3.7mm (no insert) to 0.71mm drastically reduced the fluctuation of the temperature, especially at the evaporator section of the TLT With the orifice type insert of 0.71 mm for the TLT, the overall temperature fluctuation was almost completely eliminated, especially at higher power input to the TLT.

An experimental and analytical study was made on the heat transfer characteristics of one small (150 W), two medium (60 and 1,500 W, respectively) and two large (7,500and 100,000 W) two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLT), and the results from the experiments were used to see if a computer simulation code alone for such TLT heat transfer systems would give any meaningful quantitative results without being accompanied with some benchmark experimental verification. Two simulation methods were used for the analysis of the systems, i.e., the lumped and the sectorial thermal resistance methods. The study clearly shows that the computer simulation for the three TLTs can predict the most cases of the affecting parameters involved, provided that correct empirical correlations are used. To do so, however, the interior temperature distribution had to be verified by experiment.

A heat exchanger (100,000 W) using two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLT) was developed as a waste heat recovery system. An experimental and simulation study was carried out on the heat transfer characteristics of TLT heat exchanger, and the results from the experiments were used to see the possibility which the TLT heat exchanger could be an alternate solution for waste heat recovery system. The experimental results showed the provisional results as a waste heat recovery system. Also computer simulation code can predict the TLT system about the effects of various variables for the operation. Computer simulation results based on the thermal resistance networks were compared with the experimental results. The study clearly shows that the computer simulation for the TLT heat exchanger can Predict the most cases of the affecting parameters involved, provided that correct empirical correlations are used.

Reported are the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase loop thermosyphon (TLT) with nanofluids consisted of nano-size silver particles and distilled water as the working fluid. The nanofluids used in the present study are dispersed solutions with various amount of silver nanoparticle in distilled water. It is seen from the present study that the heat transfer performance of the test TLT with nanofluids increased as much as about 2 times higher than that of a TLT with pure water as the working fluid based on same heat flux. The study also showed that there was no deterioration of the TLT performance with time, up to a period of 8 days of continuous operation which implies that there was no coagulation of nanoparticles within the working nanofluid during the operation of the test TLT.

Two phase thermosyphone loop for electronics cooling are designed and manufactured to test its performance under the partial load and low environment temperature conditions. The thermosyphone device has six evaporators connected parallel for the purpose of cooling six power amplifier units (PAU) independently. The heater modules for simulating PAUs are adhered with thermal pad to the evaporator plates to reduce the contact resistance. There are unbalanced distributions of liquid refrigerant in the differently heated evaporators due to the vapor pressure difference. To reduce the vapor pressure differences caused by partial heating, two evaporators are connected each other using the copper tube. The pressure regulation tube successfully reduces these unbalances and it is good candidates for a field distributed systems. Under the low environment temperature operating condition, such as $-30^{\circ}C$, there may be unexpected subcooling in condenser. It leads the very low saturation pressure, and under this condition there exists explosive boiling in evaporator. The abrupt pressure rise due to the explosive boiling inhibits the supplement of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator for continuous cooling. Finally the cooling cycle will be broken. For the normal circulation of refrigerant there may be an optimum cooling air flow rate in condenser to adjust the given heat load.

This study concerns the performance of condensation heat transfer in two-phase loop thermosyphons. In the present work, R134a has been used as the working fluid. Liquid fill charge ratio defined by the ratio of working fluid volume to total internal volume of thermosyphon, heat flux and wind speed of condensation have been used as the experimental parameters. The results show that the filling rate of working fluid and heat flux are very important factors for the operation of two-phase loop thermosyphons. The optimum liquid fill charge ratio for the best condensation heat transfer rate was 80%.
