摘要:
Good starting performance is essential for work of heat pipe operating reliably. Inclination angle is one of the influence factors to starting characteristics of thermosiphon. A sodium-potassium (Na-K) thermosiphon consists of 55% potassium and 45% sodium is researched to evaluate the influences of heat pipe orientation on the starting characteristics. The starting characteristics at six different angles (0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40° and 50°) have been experimentally investigated and the wall temperature distribution curve is portrayed. The experimental results indicate that the Na-K heat pipe has good startup performance. The increase of the inclination angle improves the temperature of the condenser and conduces to the startup of the heat pipe. © 2014, Science Press. All right reserved.
