Summary

This article presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of the behaviour of a two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) in transient regimes. Experimental results show two kinds of TPCT response. The authors focused on regular variations of operating system variables, where a mathematical model was developed in order to obtain an analytical expression of the system's response time. The dependence of this response time on the various parameters is linked to geometry and heat transfer laws. The model can be considered as a simple and efficient tool for designing TPCTs in both transient and steady regimes.
