Flat Plate Heat Pipe

A copper-water flat plate heat pipe with intersected micro-grooves was developed for cooling electronic devices in this paper. The effects of heat flux, working fluid filling ratio and inclination angles on thermal performance of the flat plate heat pipe was tested and investigated. The laboratory tests show the optimal filling ratio of the heat pipe is about 65%. Excellent thermal performance is also observed in unfavorable titled positions including vertical and anti-gravity orientation at 65%. The smallest overall thermal resistance is obtained in horizontal position and the maximal thermal resistance is observed in vertical position. The influence of inclination angles on thermal performance of the heat pipe in both axial direction and radial direction is also investigated. As the heat pipe is tilted, the ability of temperature leveling in radial direction is enhanced, nevertheless, the capacity of heat transfer in radial direction decreased at the same time.

Performance Results

A thin flat plate heat pipe (TFPHP) with a new structure of wick is fabricated and tested. The wick is formed by the narrow foils folded, the liquid passage and capillary force is provided by the folded clearance of the foils, the vapor passage is shaped by the periodic holes of the foils. One aluminum TFPHP of 260×60×4 mm3 size is made and the test setup is established. The test results show that the spreader has good performance as, at the horizontal state, the power transferred can reach 18.5W, the corresponding thermal conductivity is 838W/(m·°C). For different tilt angle, we have the performance results. The effects of parameters to the performance are discussed. The spreader is significant for the spreading of point power.
