본 연구에서는 소형 동-소결윅 히트파이프를 대상으로 소결윅의 구조적 인자들이 히트파이프의 열수송 한계에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 소결윅의 입자 크기의 균일성과 소결 조건이 전체적인 기공분포와 기공률을 포함한 물리적 특성에 지배적인 요소로 작용했으며, 윅 두께 및 기공의 작은 편차가 히트파이프의 열수송 한계에 대체로 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 증기온도와 경사각에 따라서 윅 두께와 평균 입자 반경, 그리고 모세관반경의 미세한 변화가 히트파이프의 모세관한계를 현저하게 변화시켰다.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the capillary heat transportation limitation in heat pipe according to the change of screen mesh wick porosity. Diameter of pipe was 6 mm, and mesh numbers are 100, 150, 200 and 250 and water was selected as a working fluid. According to the change of wick porosity and mesh number, the capillary pressure, pumping pressure, liquid friction coefficient in wick, vapor friction coefficient, and capillary heat transportation limitation are analyzed by theoretical design method of a heat pipe. As some results, the capillary heat transportation limitation in screen mesh wick heat pipe is largely affected by wick porosity and mesh number.

구리분말 소결윅 히트파이프의 열수송 한계를 예측하는 이론적 해석을 수행하였다. 히트파이프의 직경은 8 mm이고 물을 작동유체로 사용하였다. 입자의 직경을 대표적인 5 가지로 분류하여 각각의 유효 모세관 반경($r_c$) 기공률($\varepsilon$), 투파율(K)을 토대로 작동온도와 윅 두에 그리고 경사각에 따른 모세관압력과 열수송 한계, 열저항을 분석하였다. 소결윅의 모세관한계는 입자 직경이 크고 윅 두께가 증가하며 작동온도가 높을수록 증가했다 기공률과 모세관 반경이 증가할수록 열수송 한계가 높아졌으며, 윅 두께가 증가함에 따라 열저항이 크게 상승하였다.

스크린 메쉬윅 및 소결윅 히트파이프의 열수송 한계를 예측하기 위한 이론적 해석을 수행하였다. 히트파이프의 직경은 8mm이고 작동유체는 물을 사용하였다 250메쉬 조건에서, 각각의 유효 모세관 반경(r$_{c}$ ), 기공률($\varepsilon$), 투과율(K)을 토대로 작동온도와 윅 두께 그러고 경사각에 따른 모세관압력과 열 수송 한계, 열 저항을 분석하였다. 작동온도가 높고 윅 두께가 증가할수록 모세관한계가 높아졌으며, 대체로 소결윅이 스크린적보다 높은 열수송 한계를 나타냈다. 스크린윅의 열저항이 소결윅보다 높았으며, 두 가지 모두 윅 두께가 증가함에 따라 열저항이 선형적으로 상승하였다.

In this paper, the pressure drops were investigated according to the sintered porous wick structure in loop heat pipe(LHP) by theoretical analysis. LHP has the wick only in evaporator for the circulation of working fluid, so utilizes porous wick structure which pore diameter is very small for large capillary force. This paper investigates the effects of different parameters on the pressure drops of the LHP such as particle diameter of sintered porous wick, wick porosity, vapor line diameter, thickness of wick and heating capacity. Working fluid is water and the material of sintered porous wick is copper. According to the these different parameters, capillary pressure, pressure drop in wick were analized by theoretical design method of LHP.

Experimental studies of the cylindrical sintered-copper wick heat pipes were carried out to investigate the capillary heat transfer characteristics. Six models of the sintered-copper wick heat pipes were manufactured and tested to evaluate the heat transport limitations and the thermal characteristics. Also the performance of the heat pipes was analyzed theoretically and compared with the test results. The heat pipe models are divided into two sintered-wick groups and the nominal particle sizes are $180{\mu}m$(wick #1) and $200{\mu}m$(wick #2) respectively The experimental results showed that, the porosity of wick #1 was higher than that of wick #2, and also the wick #1 was generally superior than the wick #2 for the heat transport capability. The maximum heat transport rates were increased as the wick thicknesses and the vapor temperatures were increased.

There are various wick types for heat pipe. In the present study, the manufacturing technology of a sintered wick among various wick types is discussed. The sintering technology using metal has been applied broadly in the field of electronic-telecommunication as well as heat pipes. A study of manufacturing procedure and characteristic of sintered wick for heat pipe have been performed. Copper powder was used as wick material and stainless steel as a mandrel. A manufacturing technology of the mandrel for arranging vapor core in heat pipe, a sintering technology by first or second times and operating temperature for sintering, the measurements of a porosity, pore size, and pore distribution of sintered wick were considered. In the meantime, a heat pipe with sintered wick has been manufactured and a performance test of the heat pipe has been performed in order to review cooling performance. The performance test results for the 4mm diameter heat pipe with the sintered wick shows the stability since the temperature difference between a evaporator and a condenser of the heat pipe is less than $4.4^{\circ}C$, and thermal resistance is less than $0.7^{\circ}C/W$.

In this study, to make an excellent heat pipe, the manufacturing technology of a sintered wick was investigated. Making a sintered wick is known to be very difficult but it has many advantages. For example, the porosity and pore size can be controlled and the capillary force is great. The mixture of copper and pore former powder was used as a wick material and ceramic-coated stainless steel was used as a mandrel which is necessary for vapor flow. To analyze the feature of the manufactured wick, not only porosity and pore size were measured but also the sintered structure was observed. A heat pipe with sintered wick was manufactured and the performance test of the heat pipe was performed in order to review cooling performance. The performance test results for the 4mm diameter heat pipe with the sintered wick shows the stability since the temperature difference between a evaporator and a condenser of the heat pipe is less than 4.4$^{\circ}C$, and thermal resistance is less than 0.7$^{\circ}C$/W, In the meantime the composite wick that is composed with sintered and woven wire was also examined. The heat transfer limit of the heat pipe with composite wick was enhanced about 51%~60% compare to the one with sintered wick.
