Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a heat dissipation device, and more particularly to a heat dissipation device for dissipating heat through two phase changes.
- With increasing development of computers and various electronic devices, people in the modern societies are used to using the computers and the electronic devices for a long time. During operations of the computers and the electronic devices, a great deal of heat is generated. If the heat cannot be effectively dissipated away, some drawbacks occur.
- For solving the above drawbacks, various heat dissipation mechanisms such as airflow convection mechanisms (e.g., through fans), water cooling mechanisms or thermosyphon mechanisms are widely used. For example, thermosiphon is heat dissipation method for allowing a working medium (e.g., water) to flow along a circular loop without the need of using a pump to push the working medium. Nowadays, many literatures about the researches and technologies of the thermosiphon mechanisms have been disclosed. For example, US Patent Publication No. 20100315781 discloses a thermosyphon heat exchanger. Moreover, a water cooling radiator is one of the widely-used heat exchanger in the associated application fields. The water cooling radiator cooperates with a fan to cool down the high temperature liquid or condense the vaporized stem into liquid. Consequently, the liquid flows along a circular loop without any pump. In other words, the processes of vaporizing and condensing the liquid are sufficient for circulating the liquid. The principles of the thermosiphon and the operations of the water cooling radiator are well known to those skilled in the art, and are not redundantly described herein.
- However, in some usage situations, the thermosyphon heat exchanger is unable to effectively remove the heat from the computer or the electronic device because the circulating efficacy of the working liquid within the thermosyphon heat exchanger is unsatisfied. The applicant found that the vaporizing efficiency and the liquefying efficiency of the working liquid in the heat dissipation device are important factors influencing the circulation of the working medium. Therefore, it is important to enhance the circulation of the working medium in the heat dissipation device.
- For solving the drawbacks of the conventional technologies, the present invention provides a heat dissipation device with a vaporization-enhancing structure for increasing the thermal contact area and enhancing the efficiency of vaporizing the working medium. Consequently, the circulation of the working medium in the heat dissipation device is enhanced, and the overall heat dissipation performance is effectively enhanced.
- In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heat dissipation device. The heat dissipation device includes a first storage structure, at least one first pipe, at least one heat sink fin group and a vaporization-enhancing structure. The first storage structure includes a first chamber. The first storage structure is in thermal contact with a heat source. An inner portion of each first pipe has a first channel. A first end of the first channel is in fluid communication with the first chamber. A working medium is filled in the first chamber and the first channel. The at least one heat sink fin group is disposed on an outer surface of the at least one first pipe. The vaporization-enhancing structure is disposed within the first chamber and in thermal contact with the first storage structure and at least a portion of the working medium. After the vaporization-enhancing structure receives heat energy from the heat source, the heat energy is transferred to the working medium. The vaporization-enhancing structure facilitates liquid-gas transformation of the working medium, so that the working medium moves in a direction toward a second end of the first channel.

- In an embodiment, the liquefaction-enhancing structure includes plural capillary structures or recesses, which are formed on an inner surface of the at least one first pipe and disposed within the first channel.
- In an embodiment, the heat dissipation device further includes a third storage structure, at least one second pipe, at least one additional heat sink fin group and an additional vaporization-enhancing structure. The third storage structure includes a third chamber. The third storage structure is in thermal contact with the heat source or an additional heat source. An inner portion of each second pipe has a second channel. A first end of the second channel is in fluid communication with the third chamber. An additional working medium is filled in the third chamber and the second channel. The at least one additional heat sink fin group is disposed on an outer surface of the at least one second pipe. The additional vaporization-enhancing structure is disposed within the third chamber and in thermal contact with the third storage structure and at least a portion of the additional working medium.

The additional vaporization-enhancing structure facilitates liquid-gas transformation of the additional working medium, so that the additional working medium moves in a direction toward a second end of the second channel.

Theheat dissipation device 1A comprises afirst storage structure 11, asecond storage structure 12, pluralfirst pipes 13, plural heatsink fin groups 14 and a vaporization-enhancingstructure 15. Thesecond storage structure 12 is located over thefirst storage structure 11. Thefirst storage structure 11 comprises afirst chamber 111. Thesecond storage structure 12 comprises asecond chamber 121. An inner portion of eachfirst pipe 13 has afirst channel 131. Afirst end 1311 of thefirst channel 131 is in fluid communication with thefirst chamber 111. Asecond end 1312 of thefirst channel 131 is in fluid communication with thesecond chamber 121. Moreover, a sealed space is defined by thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11, thesecond chamber 121 of thesecond storage structure 12 and thefirst channels 131 of the pluralfirst pipes 13. A workingmedium 2 is filled in the sealed space. The heatsink fin groups 14 are disposed on outer surfaces of thefirst pipes 13. After the heatsink fin groups 14 receive heat energy from thefirst pipes 13, the heat energy is removed by the ambient airflow. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is disposed within thefirst chamber 111. Moreover, the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is in thermal contact with thefirst storage structure 11 and at least a portion of the workingmedium 2. For example, the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is immersed in at least a portion of the workingmedium 2. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is used for increasing the efficiency of vaporizing the workingmedium 2. The operations of the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 will be described herein. - In an embodiment, each
first pipe 13 is arranged between two adjacent heat sink fin groups 14. Each heatsink fin group 14 comprisesheat sink fins 141. Theseheat sink fins 141 are substantially parallel with each other and spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, and arranged on the outer surfaces of thefirst pipes 13. In an embodiment, thefirst storage structure 11 further comprises afirst plate 112, asecond plate 113 and plurallateral plates 114. Theplural lateral plates 114 are connected between thefirst plate 112 and thesecond plate 113. Thefirst chamber 111 is defined by thefirst plate 112, thesecond plate 113 and theplural lateral plates 114 collaboratively. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 comprises plural skived fins. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is disposed on thefirst plate 112. Thesecond plate 113 comprisesplural openings 1131. Theplural openings 1131 are in communication with the first ends 1311 of thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13. The structure of thesecond storage structure 12 is similar to that of thefirst storage structure 11, and is not redundantly described herein. - The above examples are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. The constituents of the heat
sink fin groups 14, the arrangements of theheat sink fins 141, the constituents of thefirst storage structure 11, the constituents of thesecond storage structure 12 and the relationships between thefirst storage structure 11, thesecond storage structure 12 and thefirst pipes 13, the example of the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 and the relative positions between the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 and thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11 are not restricted. That is, numerous modifications and alterations may be made according to the practical requirements. - The principles of removing heat energy by the
heat dissipation device 1A will be described as follows. When thefirst plate 112 of thefirst storage structure 11 is in thermal contact with anunderlying heat source 31, the heat energy of theheat source 31 is transferred to theliquid working medium 2 a through thefirst plate 112 and the overlying vaporization-enhancingstructure 15. Theliquid working medium 2 a is disposed within thefirst chamber 111 and in thermal contact with thefirst plate 112 and the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15. After theliquid working medium 2 a absorbs sufficient heat energy, theliquid working medium 2 a is vaporized. Consequently, theliquid working medium 2 a is transformed into thegaseous working medium 2 b. That is, the liquid-gas transformation occurs. Then, thegaseous working medium 2 b enters thefirst channels 131 through the first ends 1311 of thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 and moves in the direction toward the second ends 1312 of thefirst channels 131. The heat energy of thegaseous working medium 2 b in thefirst channels 131 is externally transferred to the heatsink fin groups 14, which are disposed on the outer surfaces of thefirst pipes 13. Since thegaseous working medium 2 b releases heat energy, thegaseous working medium 2 b is condensed and liquefied. Thegaseous working medium 2 b is transformed into theliquid working medium 2 a again. Theliquid working medium 2 a flows back into thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11 through the first ends 1311 of thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 and accumulates in thefirst chamber 111. - Through the working loop of the two phase changes, the heat energy generated by the
heat source 31 can be quickly dissipated away by theheat dissipation device 1A. As mentioned above, the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 comprises the plural skived fins. Since the skived fins have the advantages of high density fins, the thermal contact area between the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 and theliquid working medium 2 a is increased. That is, the heat transfer area is increased. Moreover, since the vaporizing speed of theliquid working medium 2 a is increased, the circulating efficacy of the workingmedium 2 within theheat dissipation device 1A is enhanced and the overall heat dissipation performance of theheat dissipation device 1A is increased. Moreover, since the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 is composed of the plural skived fins, the fabricating cost is reduced. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a portion of a heat dissipation device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The structures of the components of theheat dissipation device 1B which are similar to those of the heat dissipation device of the first embodiment are not redundantly described herein. In comparison with the first embodiment, theheat dissipation device 1B of this embodiment further comprises a liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16. The liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 is disposed within thesecond chamber 121 and in thermal contact with thesecond storage structure 12 and at least a portion of thegaseous working medium 2 b. The liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 is used for enhancing the efficiency of liquefying thegaseous working medium 2 b during the gas-liquid transformation process. In an embodiment, the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 comprises plural skived fins. - Similarly, after the
gaseous working medium 2 b in thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 releases heat energy, thegaseous working medium 2 b is liquefied into theliquid working medium 2 a. Theliquid working medium 2 a flows back into thefirst chamber 111. However, a portion of thegaseous working medium 2 b in thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 is possibly not liquefied and enters thesecond chamber 121 through the second ends 1312 of thefirst channels 131. - In this embodiment, the liquefaction-enhancing
structure 16 is disposed within thesecond chamber 121, and the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 is composed of plural skived fins. As mentioned above, the skived fins have the advantages of high density fins, and thus the thermal contact area between the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 and thegaseous working medium 2 b is increased. Since the heat transfer area is increased, the speed of liquefying thegaseous working medium 2 b is increased. Theliquid working medium 2 a flows back into thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11 through the first ends 1311 of thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 and accumulates in thefirst chamber 111. In other words, the use of the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 also enhances the circulating efficacy of the workingmedium 2 within theheat dissipation device 1B and increases the overall heat dissipation performance of theheat dissipation device 1B. It is noted that the example of the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16 is not restricted. That is, any other structure capable of increasing the thermal contact area to increase the speed of liquefying thegaseous working medium 2 b can be used as the liquefaction-enhancingstructure 16. -

Consequently, thegaseous working medium 2 b in thesecond storage structure 12 can be liquefied into theliquid working medium 2 a more quickly. Theliquid working medium 2 a flows back into thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11 through the first ends 1311 of thefirst channels 131 of thefirst pipes 13 and accumulates in thefirst chamber 111. In an embodiment, theheat dissipation element 17 comprises plural fins for receiving the heat energy from thesecond storage structure 12.

For succinctness, only some components are shown inFIG. 9 . That is, thefirst storage structure 11, thesecond storage structure 12, thefirst pipes 13 and the heatsink fin groups 14 are not shown. The structures of the components of theheat dissipation device 1G which are similar to those of the heat dissipation device of the above embodiments are not redundantly described herein. In comparison with the above embodiments, theheat dissipation device 1G further comprises athird storage structure 191, pluralsecond pipes 192, plural heatsink fin groups 193 and an additional vaporization-enhancingstructure 194. Thethird storage structure 191 is located beside a lateral side (e.g., a left side) of thesecond storage structure 12. Alternatively, thethird storage structure 191 is arranged between thefirst storage structure 11 and thesecond storage structure 12 and located near a lateral edge (e.g., located at the lateral edge). Thethird storage structure 191 comprises athird chamber 1911. An inner portion of eachsecond pipe 192 has asecond channel 1921. Afirst end 1921 of thesecond channel 1921 is in fluid communication with thethird chamber 1911. A sealed space is defined by thethird chamber 1911 of thethird storage structure 191 and thesecond channels 1921 of thesecond pipes 192 collaboratively. Another working medium 4 is filled in the sealed space. The plural heatsink fin groups 193 are disposed on outer surfaces of thesecond pipes 192. After the heatsink fin groups 193 receive heat from thesecond pipes 192, the heat energy is removed by the ambient airflow. Preferably, the vaporization-enhancingstructure 194 comprises plural skived fins. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 194 is disposed within thethird chamber 1911. Moreover, the vaporization-enhancingstructure 16 is in thermal contact with thethird storage structure 191 and at least a portion of the working medium 4. The vaporization-enhancingstructure 16 is used for increasing the efficiency of vaporizing the working medium 4. - The constituents of the heat
sink fin groups 193 and the arrangements of their heat sink fins are similar to the constituents of the heatsink fin groups 14 and the arrangements of theirheat sink fins 141. The constituents of thethird storage structure 191 and the relative positions between thethird storage structure 191 and the pluralsecond pipes 192 are similar to the constituents of thefirst storage structure 11 and the relative positions between thefirst storage structure 11 and the plural first pipes. The example of the vaporization-enhancingstructure 194 and the relative positions between the vaporization-enhancingstructure 194 and thethird chamber 1911 of thethird storage structure 191 are similar to the example of the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 and the relative positions between the vaporization-enhancingstructure 15 and thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11. The two phase changes of the working loop of the working medium 4 in thethird chamber 1911 of thethird storage structure 191 and thesecond pipes 192 are similar to the two phase changes of the working loop of the working medium 4 in thefirst chamber 111 of thefirst storage structure 11, thefirst pipes 13 and thesecond chamber 121 of thesecond storage structure 12. - In an embodiment, at least one of the
first storage structure 11, thesecond storage structure 12, thefirst pipes 13 and the heatsink fin groups 14 and at least one of thethird storage structure 191, thesecond pipes 192 and the heatsink fin groups 193 are directly connected with each other and thus linked with each other. Alternatively, at least one of thefirst storage structure 11, thesecond storage structure 12, thefirst pipes 13 and the heatsink fin groups 14 and at least one of thethird storage structure 191, thesecond pipes 192 and the heatsink fin groups 193 are linked with each other through an intermediate coupling mechanism (not shown). For example, the intermediate coupling mechanism is an outer casing for fixing thefirst storage structure 11, thesecond storage structure 12 and thethird storage structure 191. Preferably but not exclusively, thefirst pipes 13 are vertical pipes and thesecond pipes 192 are horizontal pipes. In this embodiment, theheat dissipation device 1G comprises plural storage structures (e.g., thefirst storage structure 11 and the third storage structure 191) to be in thermal contact withplural heat sources heat dissipation device 1G can be flexibly placed according to the application space. For example, according to the application space, theheat dissipation device 1G is rotated 90 degrees. That is, thesecond pipes 192 are switched from the horizontal pipes to the vertical pipes. Moreover, thethird storage structure 191 is located over theheat source 32 and in thermal contact with theheat source 32. Consequently, the heat energy generated by theheat source 32 can be quickly dissipated away by theheat dissipation device 1G. - While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiments. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all modifications and similar structures.
