The specific embodiment
The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples:
Fig. 1 is an overall structure schematic diagram of the present invention, and Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are respectively the structure diagram of secondary evaporator 5 and main evaporator 1.As shown in Figure 1, low temp loop heat pipe for deep low temp area provided by the invention, comprise main evaporator 1, condenser 11[by a condensate line (copper tube) 3 spiral the back soldering on the condenser cold drawing (copper sheet) 4 and form], form the loop by liquid transfer tube line 2 and vapor transmission pipeline 8 between secondary evaporator 5 (being installed on the pipeline of condensate line), main evaporator 1 and the condenser 11; Air reservoir 7 is connected on the condensate line 3 of condenser 11 side near condenser 11 outputs by steam pipe line 9; Condensate line 3 is to spiral the back soldering on a condenser cold drawing 4 and form by one meter copper tube how long; The secondary evaporator 5 that is connected on the condenser pipeline is brass tubes (perhaps being the smooth pipe of bore area) of cutting axial slot on the bore area, and its structure diagram as shown in Figure 2.Main evaporator 1 is the stainless steel tube that is cut with axial slot on the endoporus table, the coaxial cup-shaped loose structure pipe 10 that forms by the powder of stainless steel sintering that is placed with in its endoporus, and Fig. 3 has provided the structure diagram of main evaporator 1.What connect between main evaporator 1 and the condensate line 3 is liquid transfer tube line 2 and vapor transmission pipeline 8, all is the flexible stainless-steel thin-wall pipe of external diameter less (as 3mm).Air reservoir 7 is connected on the condensate line 3 a side near the condenser output, i.e. 6 places, position among Fig. 1 by a steam pipe line 9.
If adopt high purity nitrogen as hydraulic fluid, cryogenic loop heat pipe then provided by the invention can be operated in liquid nitrogen temperature, only needs to use Cryo Refrigerator that condenser cold drawing 4 is cooled to and maintains 78K in the case and gets final product.As shown in Figure 1, cryogenic loop heat pipe integral body is in (as room temperature 273K) under the environment temperature during beginning.After using Cryo Refrigerator that condenser cold drawing 4 is cooled to 78K, because condensate line 3 directly contacts with condenser cold drawing 4, and secondary evaporator 5 is the higher brass tubes of thermal conductivity, so by the effect of heat conduction the working medium in condensate line 3 and the secondary evaporator 5 is liquefied.But because main evaporator 1 and 4 of condenser cold drawings have certain distance, the liquid transfer tube line 2 and the vapor transmission pipeline 8 that connect the two are again the less stainless-steel thin-wall pipes of thermal conductivity, thereby this moment, main evaporator 1 still was in higher temperature.The occasion of using in the space that does not have the gravity booster action, only allowing the temperature of main evaporator 1 drop to operating temperature by conductive force will need the long time, thereby be necessary to adopt secondary evaporator 5 to shorten the temperature-fall period of main evaporator.
After the liquefaction of the working medium in condensate line 3 and the secondary evaporator 5, just secondary evaporator 5 can be heated, after the working medium in the secondary evaporator 5 is subjected to thermal evaporation, certain pressure head will be produced, promote its one section condensate stream in front to main evaporator 1, thereby make main evaporator 1 fast cooling.This part working medium of having evaporated is will condensation once more in secondary evaporator 5 this section condensate line 3 in front when main evaporator 1 direction flows.Simultaneously, the condensate liquid behind the secondary evaporator 5 will constantly replenish in secondary evaporator 5.Like this, by heating secondary evaporator 5, just can play the purpose of impelling main evaporator 1 fast cooling.It needs to be noted: cryogenic loop heat pipe provided by the invention has provided a kind of annexation between the position 6 in condensate line 3, secondary evaporator 5 and air reservoir and loop, and such structural relation is not easy to dryout when secondary evaporator 5 is heated.Because when the condensate liquid behind the secondary evaporator 5 replenishes in secondary evaporator 5, residual gas in the air reservoir 7 will enter into condensate line 3 condensations by the position 6 in cup-shaped loose structure pipe 10 and air reservoir and loop, promote condensate liquid conversely again and in secondary evaporator 5, replenish, thereby guarantee that secondary evaporator 5 is difficult for dryouting.So can play the effect that impels main evaporator 1 to quicken cooling effectively by heating secondary evaporator 5.
Also reduce to below the critical-temperature of working medium when main evaporator 1 temperature after, cryogenic loop heat pipe has just entered normal operating conditions.At this moment, main evaporator 1 is the be cooled caloric value of device of absorption, just evaporation and produce certain capillary force on the gas-liquid interface in porous cup-shaped loose structure pipe 10 of liquid refrigerant.Under the driving of capillary force, the steam that produces in the main evaporator 1 will flow to condensate line 3 by vapor transmission pipeline 8.Simultaneously, the partial condensation liquid in the condensate line 3 also can flow back in the main evaporator 1 under capillary force drives, and circulation so constantly relies on latent heat that heat is passed to condenser cold drawing 4 from main evaporator 1.Under normal operation mode, need not secondary evaporator 5 heating.
