Hi! I wish to design a heat pipe for high temperature (up to 1300 degree Celsius). What material can I use? What about aluminum powder? Thanks.
Industry Leading Thermal Performance
High heat flux: Lithium heat pipe operated at 126 kW/cm2
Working Fluids Include:
Cesium: 300°C to 600°C
Potassium: 400°C to 1000°C
Sodium: 500°C to 1200°C
Lithium: 900°C to 1700°C
A heat pipe for high temperature is a type of heat transfer device that is used to efficiently transfer heat from one location to another at high temperatures, typically above 500°C.
A heat pipe for high temperature works by utilizing the principles of phase change and capillary action to transfer heat. It consists of a sealed tube filled with a working fluid, which evaporates at the hot end and condenses at the cool end, transferring heat in the process.
The benefits of using a heat pipe for high temperature include high thermal conductivity, low thermal resistance, and the ability to transport heat over long distances. It also has no moving parts, making it a reliable and low maintenance solution for heat transfer.
Heat pipes for high temperature are commonly used in applications such as heat exchangers, heat sinks, and thermal management systems for electronics and machinery. They are also used in industrial processes, power plants, and aerospace applications.
While heat pipes for high temperature have many advantages, they do have some limitations. They are not suitable for transferring heat from a low temperature source, and their effectiveness can be reduced if the working fluid freezes at low temperatures. They also have a limited operating temperature range, typically up to 1000°C.
