Solar Collector Thermal Power System. Volume 2. Development, Fabrication, and Testing of Fifteen Foot Heat Pipes

Abstract

Technical effort in the development of a 15-foot long primary heat pipe capable of transferring 6 kW of thermal power and its integration with the remaining components of a complete thermal train is presented. The effort comprised the design, fabrication, and testing of the heat pipe as an individual component and the integration and testing with the secondary heat pipe, the thermal energy storage unit, and a radiation heat transfer joint.
