A heat pipe design is offered that utilizes an auxiliary working fluid. The fluid, although being less efficient than the main working fluid, remains liquid at low heat loads when the main working fluid freezes.
Inclusion in heat pipe of auxiliary working fluid which has considerably lower freezing point than main working fluid enables easy starting after main working fluid has been cooled to or below freezing point.
A prototype compact reactor suitable for combustion of propane with oxygen under shallow as well as submerged deep submergence diving conditions is reported. The device is used to heat the circulating water in a water tube-type diving suit.
Valve throttles transfer of vapor between heat input surface and heat rejection surface of heat pipe to control rate of transfer of energy. Valve is operated by control signals which sense temperatures or pressures.
A temperature controllable heat pipe switching device is reported. It includes separate evaporating and condensing chambers interconnected by separate vapor flow and liquid return conduits. The vapor flow conduit can be opened or closed to the flow of vapor, whereas the liquid return conduit blocks vapor flow at all times. When the vapor flow path is open, the device has high thermal conductivity, and when the vapor flow path is blocked the device has low thermal conductivity.
