Experimental Study and Visual Observation of a Loop Heat Pipe with a Flat Disk-Shaped Evaporator under Various Orientations

In this study, visualization treatment was applied to the flat disk-shaped evaporator of a loop heat pipe. By observing the liquid/vapor behavior inside the evaporator and compensation chamber, the effects of orientation on the performances during startup and during a step-increase in heat load were...
