Abstract
A thermal management system includes a heat transport component and a water-based azeotropic mixture disposed within the heat transport component to move heat from one portion of the heat transport component to another. The mixture includes at least 50% water.
Claims9
A thermal management system comprising:
- a heat transport component;
- and
- a water-based azeotropic mixture disposed within the heat transport component to move heat from one portion of the heat transport component to another;
- wherein the mixture includes at least 50% water;
- wherein the mixture includes both water and pyridine, wherein the heat transport component is a heat pipe, and wherein the mixture has substantially no change in volume upon freezing.
