The factors, such as filling rate, heating power, heating method etc, which have great influence on the thermal performance of the plate pulsating heat pipe were discussed. The results indicate that heating power and filling rate are the important factors for the start-up of the plate pulsating heat pipe. The different start-up power is needed with different filling rate, and the start-up of the heat pipe in case of bottom heated is much easier than that of top heated. Increasing the heating power and enlarging the heating area can make the start-up easier. Heating power can also affect the start-up time of heat pipe under the condition of bottom heated, while it does not have some influence to the heat pipe of top heated. The thermal resistance of plate pulsating heat pipe is related with the heating power, and the higher the heating power is, the smaller the thermal resistance is. But the best filling rate which the heat pipe needs is different with different heating methods, and the performance of the heat pipe in the case of bottom heated is better than the others.展开更多

DI water was used as the base fluid and contrast medium for the PHP. In order to study and measure the character, there are SiO2/H20 nanofluids with different concentration and applying with various heating powers during the experiment investigation. According to the experimental result, the high fraction of SiO2/H20 will de- teriorate the performance of PHP compared with DI water, i.e. the thermal resistance and the temperature of evaporation section increases. It is in contrary in the case of low fraction of SiO2/H20. Finally, the comparison of the thermal performances between the normal operation system and the static settlement system is given. It is found that both the thermal resistance of nanofluid PHP and the temperature of the evaporation section increase after standing for a period, and it is the same trend for the temperature fluctuation at the identical heating power for PHP.展开更多
