Performance of Capillary Loop Heat Transfer System Driven by Peristaltic Pump
A stable liquid column-air plug system forms when liquid working fluid flows in a capillary tube that meets specific requirements for the inner diameter. In this paper
a novel two-phase heat transfer system with a pulsating heat pipe is proposed for the scenario in which a liquid-vapor two-phase working fluid in the capillary tube is driven by a peristaltic pump and one-way flow forms. The heat transfer characteristics of the system with different liquid filling ratios are investigated experimentally by a self-designed experimental setup with deionized water as the working fluid under 60 W
80 W
and 100 W conditions. The inner diameter of the capillary tube is 3 mm
and the working fluid flows in a capillary tube with a constant flow rate of 7 m/min. The experimental results show that the optimum liquid filling ratio of the heat transfer system is 20%. When the heating power is 60 W
80 W
and 100 W
the thermal resistance of the system with the optimum liquid filling ratio is 0.52 °C/W,0.38 °C/W
and 0.30 °C/W
respectively
which is reduced by 32.5%
45.7%
and 50%
respectively
compared with that of the traditional water-cooled heat transfer system.
