Spray Cooling as a High-Efficient Thermal Management Solution: A Review

“…Besides the factors mentioned above, system and environmental parameters can also have non-negligible effects on spray-cooling systems, such as non-condensable gas, gravity, etc. Puterbaugh et al [131] and Elston et al [132] controlled the amount of air dissolved in FC-72 by changing the total pressure of the spray system, and then studied the effect of the non-condensing gas on spray-cooling heat transfer. Their results showed that the presence of air changes the system pressure, but has a minimal effect on the cooling performance of the spray system.…”
