Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, two special-shaped separated heat pipes with different condensation section structures are designed. The working medium is water, and the filling rate is 65%. The evaporation section is placed in the hot water tank, and the condensation section is equipped with a cold water jacket. The effects of different structures of condensing section on the thermal performance of separated heat pipes are experimentally studied, and the temperature changes of the two separated heat pipes during start-up and stable operation under different heating power are analyzed. The results show that the heat transfer characteristics of the two separated heat pipes are different due to the different structures of the condensation section, and the heat transfer capacity of sample 2 is higher. At the same time, the temperature fluctuation in the condensing section of sample 2 is also quite different from that in the condensing section of sample 1, and the temperature fluctuation in the condensing section of sample 2 is greater. The wall temperature fluctuates periodically in a steady-state, and a fast Fourier transform is used to analyze the temperature fluctuation.
