Résumé

Currently, most two-phase thermosyphon loop (TPTL) systems used in data centers feature a multi-evaporator design. The flow rate of the working fluid through each evaporator is one of the crucial factors affecting the cooling effect of the TPTL. Therefore, this paper conducts a comparative study on the flow distribution patterns of gravity- and pump-driven multi-evaporator TPTLs. The impacts of flow resistance and load distribution on each branch's flow distribution of working fluid are analyzed. It was found that the flow distributions of both gravity- and pump-driven TPTLs were influenced by load distribution. Under non-uniform load conditions, the flow rate tended to skew towards evaporators with higher loads. Additionally, the flow distribution of the gravity-driven TPTL was highly affected by individual branch flow resistance, which was markedly different from the pump-driven TPTL. Under uniform load conditions, the flow rate of the pump-driven TPTL was generally evenly distributed among the evaporators.
