A loop heat pipe has different transport mechanisms depending on heat flux. The interface of liquid and vapor cannot maintain at the surface of the wick when heat flux is high, and a vapor blanket will form in the wick. To investigate when the vapor blanket appears and how it affects heat and mass transfer in the system is very import to minimize the device. A mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in the evaporator, coupled with analysis of fluid flow in the loop, is developed in the paper. The model is applied to calculate the critical heat load that the vapor blanket forms, and to analyze how the blanket delays. A comparison of theoretical results and experimental measurements is further presented. The consistence of the results validates the model and the mechanisms.
