Description

Heat-transfer equipment and manufacture method thereof
The application is the part continuation application of 10/607, No. 337 application of proposition on June 26th, 2003.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the heat-transfer equipment of capillarity as pass through mechanism, in particular for the imbibing core material material of such equipment.
Background technology
Computer is considered to a kind of hypertherm, from the extracting data entropy, and converts entropy to heat, heat is dispersed in the environment again.Used heat is taken out and be dispersed into the ability of the existing heat treatment technics in the environment from semiconductor circuit,, limited the density and the clock speed of electronic system with suitable cost.
The typical feature that is used for the heat-transfer equipment of electronic system is that atmosphere is the final radiator of selecting.The air cooling provides manufacturer to obtain the chance of the most wide application market.Current, another typical feature that is used for the heat-transfer equipment of electronic instrument is semiconductor chip and passive heat transmitter or initiatively heat-transfer equipment thermo-contact, and it is transferred to a kind of several fin with heat from chip.These fin transfer heat in the atmosphere by natural or passive convection current.
Because the semiconductor equipment energy that need distribute increases in time, a problem has produced: along with the past of time, it is too low that the thermal conductivity of Available Material becomes, and can not the heat of semiconductor equipment be transported to fin with low acceptably temperature drop.The thermal power density that semiconductor equipment produces will very high, to such an extent as to based on copper, silver or even golden heat transfer technology all be not enough to be competent at.
A kind ofly having confirmed the technology useful to radiating effect, is exactly hot pipe technique.One heat pipe comprises a seal casinghousing and a working fluid, and the sealing housing defines an inner chamber that comprises capillary wick, and working fluid has the two-phase of liquid gas in desirable operating temperature range.When a part of chamber was in relatively-high temperature, it was just as evaporator section.Working fluid causes that in evaporator section evaporation slight pressure increases, and forces steam to partly the moving relative to low temperature of chamber, and this low temperature is partly as condenser portion.Steam is condensation in condenser portion, and gets back to evaporator section by the capillary pump effect through capillary wick.Because heat pipe is with Transformation Principle but not conduction or convective principles work, Heat Transfer of Heat Pipe on Heat Pipe speed should be more much higher than traditional heat transfer system in theory.Therefore, heat pipe is used to cool off dissimilar high yield thermic devices, (sees U.S. Patent number 3,613,778 as electronic equipment; 4,046,190; 4,058,299; 4,109,709; 4,116,266; 4,118,756; 4,186,796; 4,231,423; 4,274,479; 4,366,526; 4,503,483; 4,697,205; 4,777,561; 4,880,052; 4,912,548; 4,921,041; 4,931,905; 4,982,274; 5,219,020; 5,253,702; 5,268,812; 5,283,729; 5,331,510; 5,333,470; 5,349,237; 5,409,055; 5,880,524; 5,884,693; 5,890,371; 6,055,297; 6,076,595 and 6,148,906).
The barometric gradient that produces owing to the interaction of the pressure differential of Lock-in in the heat pipe has caused the steam in the system to flow and the capillary flow of liquid.This barometric gradient makes system liquid no longer need the external pump effect.In addition, under vacuum condition, the liquid of balance and the existence of steam cause the higher thermal efficiency.Be to improve efficiency of heat pipes, prior art has been developed multiple liquid sucting core structure, promoting that fluid moves between condenser and the evaporator section, and strengthens imbibition core and its heat transfer property between on every side.Their included parallel groove that tube-surface vertically arranges and cuts arbitrarily.In addition, prior art also discloses the use of the liquid sucting core structure that is fixed in inner tubal wall.The composition of these imbibition cores and geometry comprise the metal of uniform fine metal mesh and sintering.The metal wicks of sintering generally includes the metallic particles mixture, and this metallic particles mixture has been heated to and can have caused that adjacent particles is in the temperature of contact point fusion or welding separately.Then, the metal dust of sintering forms the loose structure with capillary characteristics.Although the imbibition core of sintering has confirmed to have enough heat-transfer characters in the prior art, small metal-metal fusion points has often reduced the thermal energy conduction by the imbibition core between particle, and this has limited the validity of sintered wicks in this area.
The equipment of prior art although can realize their its intended purposes, has common defective, and reason is their inabundant intrinsic heat transfer potentiality of the available the best of given heat pipe that realize.Up to the present, nobody can design a kind of liquid sucting core structure that is used for heat pipe, and this structure can enough be made simply, and the heat-transfer character of heat pipe the best of utilizing it is provided.

Referring to Fig. 1-6, the present invention includes a liquid sucting core structure that is used for heat pipe or heat transmitter 2, heat pipe or heat transmitter 2 abbreviate heat pipe hereinafter as.This heat pipe 2 often be certain size and shape be used to transmit and/or distribute the heat energy that produces by at least one thermal source such as semiconductor equipment (not shown), just thermal bonding between a part of heat pipe and radiator (not shown).Heat pipe 2 generally includes the housing of sealing, for example straight hollow platy structure (Fig. 2) or tubular structure (Fig. 9,12,14 and 19).Do not consider exterior contour, each shell structure defines an evaporator section 5, one condenser portion 7 and an internal voids space or the vapor space 10 (Fig. 3).For example in a planar rectangular heat pipe 2, the vapor space 10 is limited between diapire 12 and the roof 14.In a tubular type or tower-type heat pipe 2, the vapor space 10 from an end of pipe to other end longitudinal extension (Fig. 9,12,14 and 19).
In the preferred embodiment of a linear housing, diapire 12 and roof 14 comprise the heat conducting material sheet of basic uniform thickness, as copper, steel, aluminium, or one of their alloys separately, and separate at interval about 2.0 (mm) to about 4.0 (mm) with the formation vapor space 10 heat pipe 2 in.The roof 14 of heat pipe 2 is flat usually substantially, and shape and diapire 12 are complementary.Diapire 12 preferably includes the inner surface 18 and a peripheral edge wall 20 of a substantially flat.Peripheral edge wall 20 is outwards outstanding to center on inner surface 18 from the peripheral edge of inner surface 18.By being connected of diapire 12 and roof 14,, in heat pipe 2, create vaporization chamber 10 along the common edge that seals on their composition surface 24 subsequently.But evaporative fluid (as water, ammoniacal liquor or fluorine Lyons, not shown) places the vapor space 10, as the working fluid of heat pipe 2.For example, heat pipe 2 can be made by copper or copper carborundum (copper silicon carbide), and select water usually, ammoniacal liquor or fluorine Lyons is as working fluid.Sealing is in the end injected before the filling pipe of working fluid, injects after the working fluid, and by extract a part of vacuum out in vapor chamber, heat pipe 2 has just been finished.
Referring to Fig. 3-6, for being operated in the housing of heat pipe 2, heat pipe begins, must a capillary structure be set in the vapor space 10, it is withdrawn into evaporator section with the condensed fluid of condenser portion 7, substantially not by means of the gravity effect.In the specific embodiment of the present invention, brazed wick 25 is positioned on the inner surface 18 that limits the vapor space 10 borders.Brazed wick 25 comprises a plurality of metallic particles 27 that combine with filler metal or metal mixture, and this filler metal or metal mixture are commonly referred to " solder brazing (braze) " or brazing metal 30.Be understandable that " solder brazing " is meant with heat and is connected metal with filling metal such as brazing metal 30.Brazing metal 30 comprises a fusion temperature extremely usually, this fusion temperature be higher than 450 ℃-1000 ℃ but be lower than will be connected with the fusing point of the metallic particles 27 that forms brazed wick 25.
Usually, form brazed wick 25 of the present invention, need a plurality of metallic particles 27 and brazing metal 30 to be heated to the solder brazing temperature together and make brazing metal 30 fusions, but the 27 not fusions of a plurality of metallic particles.It should be noted that, in the solder brazing process, metallic particles 27 does not fuse together in the time of can be as sintering, but forms metallurgical, bond between brazing metal 30 and adjacent metal particle 27 surfaces and link together by solidifying being based upon of brazing metal leg (among Fig. 5 and 6 shown in the Reference numeral 33) again.Advantageously, the principle that brazing metal 30 is attracted through the porous mixture formation leg 33 of metallic particles 27 is " capillarity ", i.e. fluid motion in the porous material space is to be caused by the mutual intrinsic gravitation of flow surface molecule.Therefore, when brazing metal 30 fusions, the braze metal molecule of fusion is attracted each other, and the surface tension between molten braze and single metal particle 27 surfaces is easy to molten braze is guided to the position that each adjacent metal particle 27 contacts with each other simultaneously.When molten braze metals is solidified again, leg 33 forms in each this position.
Among the present invention, with respect to as sintering or fusion technology, brazing metal 30 and leg 33 have produced the more imbibition core of high-termal conductivity.The imbibition core of this more high-termal conductivity directly improves the heat-transfer equipment that it was formed at such as the capacity of heat transmission of heat pipe, annular heat pipe etc.According to the hot-fluid principle that evaporimeter 5 is deferred to, the increase that can find the conductance of brazed wick 25 be in be directly proportional with the thermal conductivity of imbibing core material material and its square root between.Importantly, the concrete composition of brazing metal 30 must be through selecting, in order to avoid cause that the material system chemistry that constitutes heat pipe 2 is incompatible.
Metallic particles 27 can be selected any high-termal conductivity metal, it is suitable for being made into the solder brazing loose structure, as carbon, tungsten, copper, aluminium, magnesium, nickel, gold, silver, aluminium oxide, beryllium oxide or analog, also can comprise orbicule, ellipsoid or the more arbitrarily unfavorable or regular polygon or the thread particle of different cross section shape of arbitrary spherical substantially, oblate or prolate.For example, when metallic particles 27 is formed by about 1083 ℃ copper sphere of fusing point (Fig. 5) or oblate spheroid (Fig. 6), the whole imbibition core solder brazing temperature of heat pipe 2 is about 1000 ℃.By changing the percentage of brazing metal 30 in metallic particles 27 mixtures, or brazing metal 30 uses more " inertia " alloy, and the thermal conduction characteristic of wide region just can be provided between metallic particles 27 and leg 33.
For example, in copper/hydro-thermal pipe, the copper of arbitrary ratio/golden solder brazing all can be used, although it is more expensive to have the solder brazing of more gold.30 gratifying combinations are found to be copper/golden brazing metal that weight accounts for 6% (325 order) 65%/35% in small, broken bits as brazing metal, fully mix with copper powder (metallic particles 27).More or fewer solder brazing are possible, although solder brazing crosses that I haven't seen you for ages the thermal conductivity of brazed wick 25 are had little influence, and too much solder brazing can begin again to fill imbibition core hole with the braze metal of solidifying.The optimum range of being found is the brazing metal between about 2% and about 10%, depends on the braze recipe of use.When adopting copper powder as metallic particles 27, preferred grain shape is spherical or near-spherical.Metallic particles 27 usually should be thicker than about 200 orders, but thinner than about 20 orders.Thin imbibition core powdered granule often need be used thinner braze powder particle.The solder brazing powder of brazing metal 30 should be the part of metallic particles 27 dimensionally, so that make the homogeneous brazed wick 25 with homogeneous characteristic.
Other solder brazing also can be used for solder brazing copper imbibition core, comprises Ni-based Nicrobrraz (nickel-based Nicrobrazes), silver/copper solder brazing, tin/silver, lead/tin, even polymer.The present invention also is not limited only to copper/hydro-thermal pipe.For example, by using aluminium/magnesium intermetallic alloy to make aluminium and magnesium porous hard brazed wick as solder brazing.
Brazing metal 30 should be distributed in each surface of metal particles usually fully.This distribution of brazing metal 30 can realize that (being each metal ball body or ellipsoid surface) produced the viscosity that is used for brazing metal 30 adhesions on each metallic particles 27 surface for this by brazing metal 30 is mixed with organic liquid adhesive such as ethyl cellulose.In the present invention's one specific embodiment, the copper powder of 1/10 and 2/10 grammes per square metre (metallic particles 27) mixes with two organic liquid adhesives that drip from dropper such as isobutyl methacrylate lacquer (ISOBUTYL METHACRYLATE LACQUER), so that (being each metal ball body or ellipsoid surface) produces viscosity brazing metal 30 is adhered on metallic particles 27 surfaces.(as-325 orders) brazing metal 30 in small, broken bits is mixed into the liquid adhesive of covering copper powder particles, and thoroughly air-dry.It is copper/golden brazing metal of 65%/35% that about 0.072 gram, weight account for copper/golden ratio of 6%, has found the effect that can reach enough.The mixture of aforementioned metal particle 27 and brazing metal 30 is applied to the inner surface of heat pipe 2, the inner surface 18 of diapire 12 for example, and evenly heated so that make brazing metal 30 fusions by heating of metal particle 27.Because the molten braze material 30 that capillarity is attracted forms leg 33 when solidifying in metallic particles 27 mixtures.For example, about 1020 ℃ of vacuum weldings or hydrogen brazing 2 to 8 minutes, preferred about 5 minutes, found that the leg that can provide enough in brazed wick constitutes.Be at least 10 -5The holder or lower vacuum be enough, and if with the hydrogen smelting furnace then must the employing wet hydrogen.In one embodiment, this is assemblied in 1020 ℃, vacuum about 5 * 10 -5Under holder or the lower situation, vacuum was lighted 5 minutes.
Referring to Fig. 7,8,14 and 16-17, grooved brazed wick structure 38 also can be formed easily by the metallic particles 27 that combines with brazing metal 30.Particularly, (Figure 18) is used to make grooved wick structure 38 with axle 40, and this axle comprises a plurality of parallel piston ring lands 45 that separated at interval by parallel groove 47.The piston ring land 45 of axle 40 forms the groove 50 of finished product brazed grooved wick structure 38, and the groove 47 of axle 40 forms the piston ring land 52 of the brazed grooved wick structure of finishing 38.Each piston ring land 52 all is one oblique sidewall 54a to be arranged, and inverted cardinal principle " V " shape of 54b or pyramid are outstanding, and separates at interval with adjacent piston ring land.Groove 50 separates piston ring land 52, and becomes substantially parallel vertically (or laterally) to arrange, at least by evaporator section 5 extensions.Groove 50 end portion, contiguous as peripheral edge wall 20, can be not by other loose structure restriction.In one embodiment, the brazed metal particles of relative thin is deposited upon on the inner surface 18 of diapire 12, so that form groove-wick 55 between the bottom of each groove 50 and the piston ring land 52 that separates at interval.For example, solder brazing copper powder particle 27 is deposited between the piston ring land 52, when deposition spreads all between sloped sidewall 54a, the 54b of the inner surface 18 of diapire 12 and piston ring land 52, groove-wick 55 comprises and is about an average thickness to six average copper particle diameters (about 0.005mm to 0.5mm, preferable range from about 0.05mm to about 0.25mm).Advantageously, the metallic particles in groove-wick 55 27 is connected to each other with heat and mechanical mode by a plurality of legs 33 (Figure 17).When forming grooved brazed wick structure 38, the inner surface 18 of diapire 12 (being generally the copper surface) is coated with last layer organic bond isobutyl methacrylate lacquer gently, and copper/golden ratio is 65%/35% brazing metal, and redundance is shaken off " to spray coating " on the surface.The copper surface that the copper powder 27 that the solder brazing of (about usually 1.272 grams) covers between 1.250 and 1.300 grams places solder brazing to cover, axle 40 is placed on the top in advance to form grooved brazed wick structure 38.
Notably be, form enough thin groove-wick 55, so that thermal conductivity Δ T is enough little comes to life between the solder brazing powder of the inner surface 18 of diapire 12 and formation imbibition core preventing.The formation of leg 33 has further strengthened the thermal conductivity of groove-wick 55.Groove-wick 55 is extremely thin liquid sucting core structures, injects liquid by the piston ring land 52 that separates, and this piston ring land that separates 52 provides essential cross-sectional area to flow to keep effective working fluid.When groove-wick 55 constituted the maximum planes zone of possibility (by capillary limitations restrict) between piston ring land 52, it had constituted an optimal design on cross section.This zone should have, for instance, and the thickness of 1 to 6 copper powder particle only.Thinner groove-wick 55 has more performance under actual production restriction, as long as the copper particle that has one deck at least to link together through heating power and mechanical force by a plurality of legs 33 on the surf zone of inner surface 18.Should approach the evaporating surface zone that wick area utilizes groove-wick layer to strengthen, be not more than a little powdered granule, have the thermal conductivity of the remarkable enhancing that brings by the leg 33 that connects metallic particles 27 simultaneously by the thickness that limits groove-wick 55.Found that this structure avoided the relevant thermal conduction limitations of prior art.
