Abstract
A two-phase heat transfer system includes an evaporator unit configured to receive heat from a source, a liquid line fluidly connected to the evaporator unit, a vapor line fluidly connected to the evaporator unit, and a condenser. The evaporation unit includes a thermal capacitance device and an evaporator integrated with the thermal capacitance device.
Claims13
A two-phase heat transfer system comprising:
- a condenser configured to condense vapor;
- a liquid line fluidly connected to the condenser;
- a vapor line fluidly connected to the condenser;
- and
- an evaporating unit including:
- an evaporator fluidly connected to the liquid line and to the vapor line and configured to receive heat from a heat source, the evaporator comprising a core having a liquid passage formed therein;
- and
- a thermal capacitance device integrated with the evaporator, the thermal capacitance device comprising a thermal storage unit including a block having a plurality of channels formed therein, the plurality of channels extending in a direction substantially parallel to the liquid passage formed in the core of the evaporator, and wherein a portion of the block is in contact with a portion of the evaporator.
