Miniature heat transport systems with loop heat pipes.

Author(s) : KISEEV V., BELONOGOV A.

Summary

Extensive development of loop heat pipe (LHP) technology and several successful flight experiments offer capabilities for LHP to play an increasingly important role for instrument thermal control on flight spacecraft, space and Earth applications, nano-satellite technologies, aerial and ground vehicles. The paper attempts to present some configurations of miniature LHP (total length 350-400 mm) with flat plate and cylindrical envelopes of evaporators. Heat transfer experiments and analysis of loop heat pipes are investigated for different linear and vibrating accelerations.
