Abstract

As a feasibility study on waste heat recovery of exhaust gas of automobile, heat transport characteristics of Bubble Actuated Circulating Heat pipe, BACH, were experimentally measured. Maximum temperature of exhaust gas was assumed to be about 350℃. Heated section of heat pipe BACH was double-tube type, i.e. working fluid was set between inner and outer tube, and hot air flowed through inner tube. Experimental parameters were gas temperature, amount of working fluid, inclination angle and kind of working fluid, i.e. water and antifreeze solution. The obtained results show that maximum heat transport rate reached about 1400 W and heat transport rate was not strongly affected by the amount of working fluid.
