Description

Cylindrical loop heat pipe
Technical Field
The invention relates to a heat pipe technology, in particular to a loop heat pipe, and belongs to the field of F28d15/02 heat pipes.
Background
The heat pipe technology is a heat transfer element called a "heat pipe" invented by George Grover (Los Alamos) national laboratory in the United states of Amersham (1963), which fully utilizes the heat conduction principle and the rapid heat transfer property of a phase change medium, and rapidly transfers the heat of a heating object to the outside of a heat source through the heat pipe, and the heat conduction capability of the heat pipe exceeds that of any known metal.
The heat pipe technology is widely applied to the industries of aerospace, military industry and the like before, since the heat pipe technology is introduced into the radiator manufacturing industry, the design thought of the traditional radiator is changed, a single radiating mode of obtaining a better radiating effect by simply relying on a high-air-volume motor is eliminated, the heat pipe technology is adopted to enable the radiator to obtain a satisfactory heat exchanging effect, and a new world of the radiating industry is opened up. At present, the heat pipe is widely applied to various heat exchange equipment, including the nuclear power field, such as the utilization of the waste heat of nuclear power, and the like.
The loop heat pipe refers to a loop closed loop heat pipe. Typically consisting of an evaporator, a condenser, a liquid reservoir and vapor and liquid lines. The working principle is as follows: the heat load is applied to the evaporator, the working medium evaporates on the outer surface of the evaporator capillary core, the generated steam flows out of the steam channel and enters the steam pipeline, then enters the condenser to be condensed into liquid and supercooled, the reflux liquid enters the liquid storage chamber through the liquid pipeline to supply the evaporator capillary core, and the circulation is carried out, and the circulation of the working medium is driven by the capillary pressure generated by the evaporator capillary core without external power. Because the condensing section and the evaporating section are separated, the loop heat pipe is widely applied to comprehensive application of energy and recovery of waste heat.
In order to solve the problem that the heat transfer of the traditional heat pipe is limited by long distance and cold and heat source azimuth, the Maitanik et al of national academy of sciences in 1971 put forward the concept of loop heat pipe on the basis of the theory of the traditional heat pipe, and designed and processed the first loop heat pipe in 1972. For the following decades, loop heat pipes have been continuously developed in China. In 1985, maidanik et al patented such heat pipes in the United states. This automatic Heat transfer device, which relies on capillary force to drive the circulation of working fluid, has been termed "Heat pipe", "Heat pipe with separate channels" and "Antigravitational Heat pipe" in succession, and until 1989, loop Heat pipes were first used in spacecraft thermal control systems, which were not of widespread international interest and have finally been termed "Loop Heat pipe" in the domestic industry. After the 90 s, the loop heat pipe is widely focused by relevant scholars of various countries and heat control design workers of space aircrafts due to the advantages of the loop heat pipe, a great deal of funds are invested in many countries for research, and various structural forms and the loop heat pipe adopting different working media are continuously bright in related academic conferences. The research on the loop heat pipe mainly comprises three aspects of experimental research and analysis, mathematical modeling and application research.
The thermal conductance of the LHP system is largely dependent on the heat transfer performance between the condenser and the heat sink. Early researches on LHPs were mostly directed to space application background, and the condenser mainly releases heat to a space heat sink in a radiation mode, so that a structure mode of embedding condenser pipelines into a condenser plate is widely adopted, a simple sleeve-type condenser can also be adopted in ground experiments, a constant-temperature groove is used for simulating the heat sink, and a pump drives refrigerant media (such as water, ethanol and the like) to circularly flow in a sleeve pipe to cool the condenser.
The evaporator is a core component of the LHP and has the important function of absorbing heat from a heat source and providing working medium circulating power. With decades of improvement and development, the evaporator body mainly comprises an evaporator shell, a capillary core and a liquid guide tube in a current common structural form. The axial channels outside the wick are called Vapor channels (Vapor grooves), inside which are Liquid lines (Liquid core or evaprator core).
The capillary core is a core element of the evaporator, and provides working medium circulating power, a liquid evaporation interface and liquid supply, and simultaneously blocks vapor generated outside the capillary core from entering the liquid reservoir. The capillary core is generally formed by pressing and sintering micron-sized metal powder to form micron-sized pore diameter.
In the capillary core test carried out by the applicant, naCl and g-C were used respectively 3 N 4 g-C 3 N 4 Mixing with NaCl as pore-forming agent, wherein g-C 3 N 4 And NaCl has suction performance between NaCl and g-C 3 N 4 Between separate pore formers, the machining problem is considered, but g-C is used 3 N 4 The capillary core is easy to break due to improper proportion, so g-C is selected 3 N 4 The invention also provides a preparation method of the loop heat pipe.

When the thermal load continues to increase, the gas-liquid interface invades into the capillary core, the gas is in an overheat state, namely, the phenomenon of dry burning, and meanwhile, the phenomenon of heat leakage from the evaporator to the liquid storage chamber is serious, the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator is reduced, and the power can be considered as the limit power.
The structure of the condenser is shown in fig. 9, the condenser is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the cold source is arranged in a shell side, the steam is arranged in a tube side, the heat exchanger comprises a cold source inlet and a cold source outlet which are arranged on a shell, and the steam pipeline adopts a serpentine arrangement mode.

Preferably, the axis of the wick is parallel to the axis of the vapor channel.
Preferably, the wick at the liquid inlet location of the evaporator is not provided with a vapor channel, which occupies 80-90% of the length of the wick. The longer steam channel is beneficial to timely overflowing of heated gas everywhere, so that formation of a superheated air layer and incapability of timely eliminating bubbles generated in the capillary core to disturb the internal running state are avoided.
Preferably, the flow area of the steam channel is larger and larger along the flow direction of the fluid in the evaporator.
Preferably, the flow area of the vapor channel is increased along the flow direction of the fluid in the evaporator.
Through the arrangement, the continuous heating and flowing requirement of steam can be met, so that the steam has more sufficient flowing space, and the failure of the heat pipe evaporator caused by blockage is avoided.

2) Processing of secondary wick
To reduce the effect of bubbles on the stability of the heat pipe during operation and to increase the suction performance of the wick, a wire mesh (as a secondary wick) of preferably 450-550 mesh, more preferably 500 mesh, is added to the liquid conduit of the heat pipe to achieve the desired effect. The mounting of the secondary wick to the wick is shown in figures 4-3.
