HEAT PIPES - THERMAL DIODES
Abstrakt
The performance concept and peculiarities 01 the new type of thermal diode — with the trap and with the wick breakage are dealt with in the report. The experimental data were obtained and analised for the working fluid mass and the volume of the liquid in the wick on the forward-mode limiting heat transfer. The flow rate pulsation of the working fluid in the wick was observed visually on the setup with the transparent wall. The quantitative difference of the data on the investigated thermal diode and on the identical heat pipes without the wick breakage is found experimentally concerning the forward-mode limiting heat transfer.
