Modeling of High Capacity Passive Cooling System

Abstract

High capacity passive cooling system studied in this project utilizes the thermoloop heat transfer concept (THTC). This device is an assemblage of Evaporator, Condenser, Non-return valves and Reservoir charged with a liquid for removing heat from any source upon which the evaporator is attached. Extensive experiments have been conducted and using experimental results a software module has been developed for to analyze the performance of the device for different operating conditions. Separate mathematical models for both evaporator and condenser are developed to evaluate heat transfer performance on the basis of thermodynamics and heat transfer. A software module has been developed to choose a suitable device for removing a specified heat at a particular temperature. The thermoloop device investigated in this project has the potential to be a better alternative for cooling electronic devices. Based on extensive experimentation, a software module has been developed to analyze the performance of the device. More extensive studies are necessary to mimic the operation of the device by a complete mathematical model.
