Low temperature applications of variable conductance heat pipes.

Author(s) : SHEKRILADZE I. G., MACHAVARIANI E. S., RUSISHHVILI G. J., MACHAVARIANI D. E.

Summary

Two different low temperature applications of variable-conductance heat pipes are considered. The first application is a creation of a through duct via the ice mass by a gas-controlled heat pipe (GCHP) topical for some technical systems. The second one is the application of a gravitational two-component heat pipe with mutually insoluble working components for the purpose of proper utilisation of the heat of the lower layers of the ground for thermal protection of plants. An analytical and experimental investigation is carried out into the process of melting out of the through duct via the ice mass by an inclined GCHP in the case of heat input from bottom upwards. More information is given.
