Capillary pumped loop evaporator: physical analysis, modelling and experimental study of operating conditions.

Etude physique et fonctionnement de l'évaporateur d'une pompe thermocapillaire : modélisation et expérimentation.

Author(s) : PLATEL V.

Type of monograph: Doctoral thesis

Summary

MATRA and the CNES have together investigated a device similar to a refrigeration cycle, in which the evaporating fluid is pumped by capillarity, through a loop, in the evaporator. The phenomenon shows oscillation characteristics which are studied. The device is designed for temperature control in a space satellite.
