Microprofiled Surfaces for Hyperfine Evaporative-Condensing Units

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The influences of structural parameters (shape, dimensions, structure pitch) on the capillary-transport properties of the wick was studied, and the choice of microstructured wick elements for hyperfine evaporative-condensing devices is substantiated. It has been established that steam chambers with conical microstructures are characterized by minimal mass at a high efficiency in removing thermal loads from hard-to-reach heat-stressed elements. Laboratory technologies for producing microprofiled structures by chemical and electrochemical milling have been developed. Experimental samples of microprofiled structures with a porosity of 65% and a permeability of 91 darcy were obtained. Based on the developed wick (70 × 70 × 0.05 mm3), a steam chamber of size 75 × 75 × 0.81 mm3 (working fluid — water, casing — copper) with a thermal resistance of 0.13 K/W and isothermicity of 1.4°C was created.
