A review of loop heat pipes for aircraft anti-icing applications

Spreading and Drying Dynamics of Water Drop on Hot Surface of Superwicking Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Material Fabricated by Femtosecond Laser

“…Recent trends in cooling data centers [1,2], heat dissipation in high-heat flux electronics [3], cooling supercomputers [4], spacecraft thermal management [5][6][7], water desalination [8][9][10], waste heat recovery [11][12][13][14], cooling batteries [15], energy-harvesting [16][17][18][19], aircraft anti-icing [20], and Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle) technologies [21][22][23][24][25] necessitate the creation of advanced capillary materials with efficient wicking/super-hydrophilic functionality at elevated temperatures. In particular, there is a fast-growing demand for these materials in cooling high-heat flux 5G electronics and in creating the next generation of M-cycle air-conditioning systems that will consume less electric power than the traditional compressor coolers by a factor of 5-8 [21,[26][27][28][29].…”

Comparative study of two loop heat pipes using R134a as the working fluid

“…These structural improvement effectively overcomes the inherent drawback of conventional heat pipe such as small heat transfer capacity, weak antigravity capability and unfavorable flexibility in installment, enabling LHP to be a more universal and advanced heat transfer device [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Its long distance heat transport capability and flexibility in packaging as well as strong antigravity operation show obvious advantages over traditional heat pipes [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. As a result, it has been well accepted in the future electronics cooling, to provide a low noise and power-saving solution.…”

Experimental study on operating characteristics of a dual compensation chamber loop heat pipe in periodic acceleration fields

“…New cooling technique has become an urgent demand for solving the cooling problems [1,2]. Loop heat pipe (LHP), an efficient two-phase heat transfer component, has attracted increasing attentions since it was invented [3,4]. It has many advantages including long heat transport distance, strong anti-gravity ability, high heat transfer efficiency and accurate temperature control ability.…”
