- 摘要:In order to achieve accurate and effective thermal management of high-performance electronic components, the performance of a small flat loop heat pipe was investigated. A flexible composite capillary wick material has been applied in a flat loop heat pipe. Surface modification of carbon fiber felt was carried out using arc spraying technology to make it a more suitable material for producing capillary wicks. The physical properties of the modified carbon fiber felts were determined by measuring their wettability, porosity, capillary force, and thermal conductivity. A small flat loop heat pipe assembled with carbon fiber felt wick was designed and fabricated, and experimental testing was conducted. The experimental data indicated that the performance of methanol was better than that of acetone and water. The loop heat pipe with a 60% filling ratio maintained the heat source temperature at 84.47 degrees C under a load of 120 W (30 W/cm2). Conditions where the heat source starts before the cooling system are more favorable for the quick and stable startup of the loop heat pipe. The experimental results demonstrated that the loop heat pipe with a modified carbon fiber felt wick exhibited excellent operational and heat transfer performance.
