Production Stainless Gravitational Heat Pipes Filled with Distilled Water

Abstract:

This article deals with the performance of heat pipes, depending on the operating temperature and positions (operation angle). There is described the essential function of the heat pipe manufacturing process. Measurements were carried at an operating temperature of 40 °C to 90 °C. Stainless heat pipes were made of three kinds of materials AISI 304, AISI 310, AISI 316 and filled with a distilled water, up to 20% of the heat pipe inner volume. For each material was selected heat pipe with the best results. The heat pipes were measured at various angles of vertical inclination (0 ° - 90 °), at the working temperature 90 ° C. The performance was measured on the experimental device. Presented results show the progress of individual measurements and the effect of operating parameters on the performance of heat pipes.
