Abstract
974,773. Fluid circulating systems for cooling thermopiles. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. July 2, 1962 [June 30, 1961], No. 25337/62. Heading F4U. [Also in Division H1] A cooling system for a thermopile 11 comprises a body formed of one or more blocks 13, 14, 15 in contact with the cold face of the thermopile, the blocks having passages 17 therethrough for the circulation of a liquid adapted to be vaporized in the zone adjacent said passages and to be cooled in a condensing zone. As shown, hot fluid passes upwardly through duct 12 and heats the hot face of thermopile 11. The cold face of the thermopile lies adjacent three superposed blocks 13, 14, 15, e.g. of copper, which are traversed by bores 17 connected at their upper ends by tubes 18 and at their lower ends to tubes 20. Tubes 18 and 20 are connected to a closed circuit fluid, e.g. water, flow system. The closed system contains water and a vapour space, the pressure of the air in the vapour space being reduced to several millimetres of mercury before the circuit is sealed. The water is vaporized by the heat received by the blocks from the cold face of the thermopile 11 and thus cools the blocks. The vapour rises to tube 19 and then flows through finned tubes 27 of the condenser 24 where it is cooled by air flow over the tubes; circulation of the water is then continued by the downwardly inclined orientation of the finned tubes. In a modification illustrated in Fig. 2, the thermopile is in two annular parts 31 and 32, the space between the hot faces and the duct 12 being filled by blocks 37, 37a disposed sideby-side with their lateral faces in contact to encircle the duct 12 which may be of polygonal shape. A further ring of blocks 34 is arranged so that the end faces 33 of each block are in thermal contact with the cold face of the part 31. The facing annular boundaries of the rings formed by the blocks 34, 34a, 37 and 37a are insulated by rings 39 and 39a. The blocks 34, 34a are traversed by evaporator tubes 40. In further modications, the blocks may extend into a tank containing the fluid of the circuit (Figs. 3, 4, not shown), and in Fig. 4 is illustrated a plurality of inverted Perkin's tubes which may replace the conventional heat exchanger. Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown), are concerned with flat thermopiles.
