Description
Sbir phase II award for effort entitled: thermal control for instruments - miniature loop heat pipe (LHP) with multiple evaporators and multiple condensers. LHP is a high-performance heat transportation device using capillary forces to circulate the working fluid in a closed loop. Conventional LHP's usually have one capillary pump (evaporator) to acquire waste heat from a heat source. Recent efforts have focused the development of LHP's that contain two or more evaporators. Even though two- evaporator LHP's performed very well, the volume of each compensation chamber (CC) became much larger than that of the single-evaporator counterpart. The reason was that all but one CC would be liquid-filled during normal operation. The one that was not liquid-filled had to large enough to accommodate the system liquid expansion at maximum temperature. As a result, LHP's with more than 3 evaporators were not feasible for practical applications simply because the CC's became prohibitively large. In the current research, the CC's of a multiple-evaporator LHP were capillary-linked. In other words, the CC's always contained a mixture of liquid and vapor (two- phase), allowing the loop to operate with a much smaller fluid charge. Consequently, the required CC volume was also reduced.
