Definitions

  • This invention relates to devices for efficient heat transfer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device and method for cooling heat-producing bodies or components using a two-phase cooling heat transfer device comprising surfaces having modified surface wettability to control thermal transfer in multi-phase flows.
  • Controlling heat transfer is a major preoccupation of the industry, and especially of the electronic industry. Particularly in microprocessors, the rise in heat dissipation levels accompanied by a shrinking thermal budget has resulted in the need for new cooling solutions beyond conventional thermal management techniques. In the microelectronics industry, for example, advances in technology have brought about an increase in transistor density and faster electronic chips. As electronic packages increase in speed and capability, the heat flux that must be dissipated to maintain reasonable chip temperatures has also risen. Thermal management is recognized as a major challenge in the design and packaging of state-of-the-art integrated circuits in -single-chip and multichip modules. Two-phase or "boiling" heat transfer is a method of dissipating high amounts of thermal energy.
  • Tw-o-phase heat transfer involves, generally, the evaporation of a liquid in a hot region and the condensation of the resulting vapor in a cooler region. It has been shown that more heat is removed as the nucleation site density of the surface increases.
  • the phase transition or entrance region lengths in a tube for standard applications is typically 5-10 % of the total and it is usually not important, but for the compactness and miniaturization perspectives of microcooling systems, these lengths may be 20-40% or more of the whole duct length. Therefore, controlling the transition regimes and zones may produce a clear advantage for the phase transition cooling systems.
  • surface roughness significantly affects incipient superheat and nucleate boiling heat transfer.
  • US patent No 5,814,392 for example discloses a boiling enhancement coating composition comprising a glue, particulate material, and solvent which imparts a surface microstructure.
  • the disadvantage of these coatings is that when applied to semiconductors for example, they can cause adverse effects such as material incompatibility.
  • US patent No 4,050,507 discloses a method for customizing nucleate boiling heat transfer from electronic units immersed in a dielectric coolant using a dielectric liquid as refrigerant and a surface structure containing laser drilled holes at determined places.
  • the disadvantage of this technique is that drilling can cause damaging of certain components of electronic equipment, furthermore drilled surfaces provide minimal enhancement.
  • W00118462 discloses a plasma polymerized coating with hydrophilic groups.
  • US20060191671 relates to improving heat exchange by providing a hydrophilic surface by means of grafted and/or coated nanoparticles.
  • W02005/124257 discloses increasing heat transfer from a heat generating device to a circulating fluid by artificially adding bubbles at a calculated frequency.
  • the aim of the invention is to control the onset of boiling in preferably a two-phase heat transfer system using the control of local wettability of a surface.
  • the present invention comprises achieving surface wettability manipulation to control thermal transfer in multi-phase flows by controlling onset boiling.
  • the present invention provides a heat exchanger or heat exchange device comprising at least one hydrophilic heat exchanging surface to be thermally contacted with a cooling fluid, wherein said hydrophilic surface has a surface roughness inferior to 1 ⁇ m and wherein said hydrophilic surface comprises at least one discrete area whereon is covalently grafted hydrophobic molecules for controlling onset boiling, or, at least one discrete area whereon is coated a hydrophobic polymer or a solution of hydrophobic molecule for controlling onset boiling.
  • the present invention provides a process for cooling an object to be cooled comprising thermally contacting an object to be cooled with at least one heat exchanger according to the present invention and cooling said object by operating said device.
  • the present invention provides a process for controlling the boiling onset of a fluid, comprising thermally connecting said fluid with at least one hydrophilic surface, wherein said hydrophilic surface has a surface roughness inferior to 1 ⁇ m and wherein said hydrophilic surface comprises at least one discrete area whereon are covalently grafted hydrophobic molecules for controlling onset boiling or at least one discrete area which is coated with a hydrophobic polymer.

  • the control of the boiling onset in a heat transfer system comprises modifying the local spatial surface wettability.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for the thermal control in two-phase heat exchangers.
  • liquid wettability or "wettability,” of a solid surface is determined by observing the nature of the interaction occurring between the surface and a drop of a given liquid disposed on the surface.
  • a surface having a high wettability for the liquid tends to allow the drop to spread over a relatively wide area of the surface (thereby “wetting" the surface).
  • the liquid spreads into a film over the surface.
  • the surface has a low wettability for the liquid, the liquid tends to retain a well-formed, ball-shaped drop.
  • the liquid forms nearly spherical drops on the surface that easily roll off of the surface at the slightest disturbance.
  • contact angle or "wetting contact angle” as used herein refers to a parameter which quantifies the intrinsic affinity between a liquid and a solid (or another non-miscible liquid) in another fluid environment, usually gas and more usually air.
  • the contact angle is the angle formed by the liquid edge at the solid (or three-phase contact line) and the solid surface plane.
  • sessile drop method There are various methods to measure the contact angle but the most usual one is the sessile drop method.
  • the sessile drop method consists in depositing a drop of liquid on a solid surface and the contact angle is measured visually with a goniometer. Practically the contact angle is a function of possible heterogeneities on the solid surface (usually, roughness and chemical heterogeneities).
  • the contact angle can take any value, depending on the way the contact line was formed at a precise location, between two extremes: the so-called advancing static contact angle and the so-called receding static contact angle.

  • the term "hot spot” or “local overheating area” refers to a point where a peak temperature is generated. For example, a hot spot may be a point where an abnormally high temperature is maintained due to excessive heat generation or heat accumulation.

  • This can be achieved with for example an area having a contact angle of at least 110° which will be called “relative hydrophobic”; and an area having a contact angle of at most 100° which will be called “relative hydrophilic” or in another example, with an area having a contact angle of 45° (“relative hydrophobic") and an area having a contact angle of 10° (“relative hydrophilic").

  • an important factor is the difference in contact angle.

  • the bubbling zone after appearing near one side of the wall is expanding strongly to the centre of the channel, and also slightly upward.
  • the expanding zone is following the hydrophobic part.
  • the two sequences are similar in the behavior of the expanding zone, where its upfront part follows the upfront limit of the first hydrophobic zone in order to fill completely the hydrophobic zone.
  • the bubbling zone is expanding with the "tongue” like shape, and behind this area the bubbling disappears.
  • the tongue-like shape has, in the example, the largeness of the hydrophobic pattern, i.e., 3 mm.
  • the velocity is higher than behind the "tongue” like zone; nevertheless in the hydrophobic part the liquid is continuing to evaporate while on the part behind (and so slower and further from the entrance) it is not.
