Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat pipe according to the preamble of claim 1, a system with a heat pipe according to claim 12 and a method for switching and / or programming the heat transport in a heat pipe according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • heat pipes also known as heat pipes
  • Heat pipes enable a high heat flux density to be achieved through the heat transport via evaporation heat.
  • Heat pipes usually have a hot side, the heat source, and a cold side, the heat sink.
  • a working fluid is provided in the heat pipe, which is evaporated in the area of the heat source and condensed in the area of the heat sink.
  • the heat transport takes place via the transport of the working fluid and the transfer by means of latent heat of condensation and evaporation.
  • Known heat pipes have a preferred direction for the heat flow, that is, they are designed as thermal diodes. This means that the diode conducts heat very well in one direction and very poorly in the opposite direction.
  • thermal diode is for example in Boreyko et al. 2011, Applied Physics Letter 99 (23) and in the document US 8716689 B2.
  • the use of superhydrophobic coatings in the area of the heat sink and superhydrophilic coatings in the area of the heat source results in a preferred direction of the thermal diode described for the heat: Due to the superhydrophobic coating, the surface in the area of the heat sink repels the working fluid so that it is returned to the superhydrophilic area of the heat source is transported and can evaporate there again.
  • the disadvantage of the known thermal diodes from the prior art is that the preferred direction for the heat transport is predetermined and the diode is fixed due to the design, ie cannot be changed or adapted during operation.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a heat pipe or a method for heat transport that is more variable and overcomes the limits of the methods and devices known from the prior art.
  • the heat pipe according to the invention comprises at least one working chamber with at least one evaporator area and at least one condenser area.
  • the evaporator area is in operative connection with a heat source and the condenser area in connection with a heat sink.
  • a working fluid is provided in the working chamber. In a first operating state, heat is transported from the heat source to the heat sink by means of the working fluid.
  • the heat pipe is designed as a switchable and / or programmable thermal diode or heat switch in which at least one activatable functional material is provided, which is arranged and designed to keep the evaporator area free of the working fluid in a second operating state and / or to prevent the working fluid from evaporating in order to reduce and / or prevent the heat transfer and / or to change the preferred direction of heat transfer.
  • the working fluid fills the working chamber and, depending on the pressure and temperature, is both liquid and gaseous.
  • the phrase “to keep the evaporator area free of the working fluid” refers to the working fluid in the liquid phase in direct contact and / or direct interaction with the surface of the evaporator area. It is also within the scope of the invention that working fluid is present in the gaseous phase in the evaporator area, since the working fluid in the gaseous phase fills the entire volume of the working chamber of a heat pipe.
  • the invention is based on the applicant's knowledge that the heat transport can be controlled and even reversed by appropriately designing the conditions in the working chamber.
  • the heat pipe according to the invention thus differs in essential aspects from previously known heat pipes:
  • An activatable functional material is provided in the heat pipe, which can change from a first state (first operating state of the heat pipe) to a second state (second operating state of the heat pipe).
  • first state the functional material that can be activated enables heat to be transported in the preferred thermal conduction direction of the first operating state or has no influence on the function of the heat pipe.
  • second state the activatable functional material keeps the evaporator area free of the working fluid or prevents the working fluid from evaporating. Since the heat transport in the heat pipe works mainly via the evaporation of the working fluid in the evaporator area and the transport of the evaporated working fluid in the condenser area, this reduces or prevents the heat transport in the heat pipe. It is also within the scope of the invention that the activatable functional material is designed in such a way that, in the second operating state, the preferred thermal conduction direction is changed by the activatable functional material.
  • the heat pipe is designed as a switchable thermal diode or heat switch in which the at least one functional material that can be activated is designed, in an outer one Field to at least partially change its properties.
  • the heat pipe is designed as a programmable thermal diode or heat switch in which the at least one activatable functional material is designed to at least partially change its properties depending on conditions within the working chamber.
  • Possible properties of the activatable functional material that can be changed by the external field are surface wetting properties, swelling capacity, fluid-binding properties and volume.
  • the functional material that can be activated is thus preferably switchable or programmable by external or internal influences.
  • switchable means that the operating state can be changed by actively applying an outer field.
  • programmable means that the heat pipe changes its state automatically through material-inherent factors when environmental conditions, in particular the conditions in the working chamber, change.
  • the heat pipe is designed as a programmable thermal diode or heat switch, in which the at least one activatable functional material is designed, depending on conditions within the working chamber, in particular temperature, pH of the working fluid and / or ionic strength of the Working fluids to change its properties. So there are advantageously no external fields necessary, but the control of the heat transport in the heat pipe can take place solely via the working fluid or direct properties of the heat pipe.
  • the working chamber is preferably designed as a closed volume, in particular in such a way that a heat transport by means of convection of the evaporated fluid and a return transport of the condensed fluid from the Condenser area takes place in the evaporator area.
  • the closed volume of the working chamber is designed as a pressure-tight system.
  • essentially all foreign gases with the exception of the working fluid have been removed from the pressure-tight system.
  • Various designs are possible for this, which differ in the return transport of the working fluid.
  • the design as a heat pipe or as a 2-phase thermosyphon is known here.
  • the functional material that can be activated is preferably provided within the working chamber. It is also possible that the functional material that can be activated is provided as part of the working chamber, for example of the floor and ceiling of the working chamber.
  • the heat pipe is designed with a fluid circuit for the working fluid.
  • the fluid circuit preferably comprises a fluid return for a return transport of the condensed working fluid from the condenser area to the evaporator area. This allows the working fluid to be directed back into the evaporator area in a targeted and metered manner, thus preventing the evaporator area from drying out.
  • the enclosed volume has a fluid-phobic coating in the evaporator area and / or a fluid-phobic coating in the condenser area. It is also within the scope of the invention that the closed volume, that is to say the working chamber, has an additional structure both in the evaporator area and / or in the condenser area. In this way, for example, the wetting properties of the surfaces can be optimized.
  • the at least one activatable functional material is preferably designed in the form of a switchable coating of the evaporator area and / or the condenser area of the working chamber, in that at least the surface properties of the coating of the evaporator area can be changed from fluid-philic to fluid-phobic.
  • both the coating of the evaporator area and the condenser area are designed in such a way that the surface property of the coating of the evaporator area is fluid-philic fluid-phobic is changeable, while the surface property of the coating of the capacitor area can be changed from fluid-phobic to fluid-phobic.
  • the heat pipe is designed as a switchable thermal diode: by applying an external field, the heat pipe can be changed from the first operational state to the second operational state.
  • the working fluid that has collected on the fluid-philic coating of the evaporator area evaporates and enables heat to be transported from the evaporator area to the condenser area.
  • the working fluid condenses on the fluid-phobic coating of the capacitor area. Due to the fluid-phobic surface property in the capacitor area, drops form in the working fluid. In the case of a strongly fluid-phobic configuration of the surface, the working fluid "jumps" back into the evaporator area.
  • a fluid return of the droplets via capillary forces can also be provided, for example in the form of a hydrophilic wick structure, as is known from the prior art for heat pipes. In this state, the thermal diode is thermally conductive.
  • the hot side i.e. the evaporator area
  • the hot side now has hydrophobic properties at the heat source.
  • Not enough working fluid collects on this coating and the working fluid that collects there evaporates quickly and condenses on the fluid-philic coating of the condenser area.
  • the working fluid remains there and is not transported back into the Ver evaporator area, since the above-mentioned recirculating mechanisms do not work.
  • the hot side of the working chamber dries out and there is no heat transfer via the working fluid.
  • the thermal diode blocks.
  • the switchable coating as ORMOCER ® and / or with ORMOCER ® is formed.
  • ORMOCER ® e are inorganic-organic hybrid polymers that can advantageously influence the surface properties of many substrates, cf. B. Sanchez et al. , Chem. Soc. Rev. 40, 2011, 696-753.
  • ORMOCER ® s may also act as switchable coatings are formed from hydrophilic back utilizing multiple Lite of temperature from the known mechanisms, see B. Xin, J. Hao, Chem. Soc hyd to rophob and. Rev. 39, 2010, 769-782.
  • ORMOCER ® e according to the invention therefore contain z.
  • the ORMOCER ® coatings have a micro-, meso- or nano-structuring that strengthens their fluidphil / fluidphobic properties by utilizing the capillary or lotus effect.

  • the coatings are chosen so that by applying an external field, preferably an electric field or a radiation field, ie (UV) light radiation, the surface wetting properties of the evaporator area and condenser area are exchanged.
  • ORMOCER ® s are used to realize electrical switchability of the fluidphilic / fluidphobic properties, whose functional end groups consist of an ionic group (trialkylammonium, imidazolium, sulfonate, etc.), which is connected via a “spacer”. , ie one linear alkyl chain with 2-20 carbon atoms, preferably 3-12 carbon atoms, are covalently bound to the ORMOCER ® network. By applying an electric field (cf.
  • the ionic end groups are repelled from an electrically charged substrate of the same name and protrude into the interior of the thermal diode, which leads to a hydrophilic property of the surface .
  • the ionic groups are attracted by an electrically oppositely charged substrate, so that the non-polar “spacer” chains protrude into the interior of the thermal diode, which leads to a hydrophobic property of the surface. If both opposing surfaces of the thermal diode are coated with the same functional ORMOCER ® , a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic side are created by applying an electrical field, whereby the properties are also reversed by reversing the field direction.

  • the working fluid 5 remains there and is not transported back into the evaporator area 3 , since the working fluid 5 is not repelled by the now hydrophilic surface.
  • the hot side of the working chamber 2 dries out and there is no heat transport via the working fluid 5.
  • the thermal diode blocks are not necessary to transport the working fluid 5.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a thermal switch with an activatable functional material in the form of a liquid reservoir with the partial images a) in the conductive state and b) in the blocked state.
  • the at least one activatable functional material is designed in the form of a reservoir for the working fluid 5, namely in the form of a water-binding hydrogel 7.
  • the water-binding hydrogel 7 is designed as follows:
  • Hydrogels with a volume phase transition of the LCST type can be produced, for example, by radical polymerization using the following monomers.

  • Hydrogels with a volume phase transition of the UCST type can be produced, for example, by radical polymerization using the following monomers.
  • the compositions mentioned are not to be understood as exclusive:
  • hydrogels that have a volume phase transition.
  • partially hydrolyzed poly (vinyl acetate) can be crosslinked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether or other di- or multifunctional epoxides .

  • the water-binding hydrogel 7 has a what-binding and a significantly less water-binding state.
  • the transition from the first operating state to the blocking state of the heat pipe 1, i.e. from a significantly less water-binding state of the hydrogel 7 to the water-binding state of the hydrogel 7, is induced by a temperature transition, in the present case in a temperature range from room temperature to approx. 150 ° C. This heating takes place by heating the hot side on the evaporator side, i. H. without an outside field.
  • the working fluid 5 In the first operating state of the heat pipe 1, the working fluid 5 is available for conduction of heat. The heat pipe 1 conducts heat. In the second operating state, the blocking state, the working fluid 5 is bound in the water-binding hydrogel 7. The working fluid 5 is not in this bound form more available for heat transport. The heat pipe 1 no longer conducts heat.
  • the heat pipe 1 is therefore embodied in the present case with a fluid return in the form of a wick structure (not shown).
