Thermal performance of vapor chamber heat pipe with metal felt wick of water or acetone working fluid
The heat transfer characteristics of the vapor chamber heat pipe with metal fiber felt wick were studied by experiments. Under different conditions
the isothermal characteristics and startup performance of the vapor chamber heat pipe using a single heat source were tested. The variables were heat flux
cooling wind speed and working fluid. The condenser section of the vapor chamber heat pipe was filmed by infrared thermography. The working fluid used in the vapor chamber heat pipe was water or acetone. The vapor chamber heat pipe could startup smoothly from ambient temperature at different heating powers
and startup time was about 3000 s. Both evaporator and condenser sections of the vapor chamber heat pipe had good isothermal performance
and the minimum temperature difference of the heat pipe using water as working fluid was 1.35℃. So electronic devices could avoid local high temperature by using the vapor chamber heat pipe with metal fiber felt wick.
