Abstract |
Heat pipes are efficient and low cost heat exchange equipment. The most amazing feature of the heat pipe is that have no any moving parts and little maintenance. Refrigerant R-134a is better substitute for R-22 and R-12 due to its environmental friendly nature. The thermal analysis of R-134a filled thermosyphon was investigated. The effect of filling ratio, coolant mass flow rate, input power supply and inlet Temperature on the performance of thermosyphon were investigated. The experimental result indicated that the efficiency of thermoyphon increased with increasing mass flow rate, fill ratio, and Temperature difference between inlet Temperature and outlet Temperature of Condenser section. |
