Infrared detectors on satellites and spacecraft require cooling to increase their measurement sensitivity. To efficiently cool infrared detectors in a zero gravity environment and in limited spaces, a cryogenic loop heat pipe (CLHP) can be used to transfer heat over a certain distance by the capillary forces generated from porous wicks without a mechanical power source. The CLHP presented in this study transfers the heat load to a condenser 0.5 m away from an evaporator at temperatures below −150 °C. The CLHP with two evaporators includes a subloop for initial start-up, and uses a pressure reduction reservoir (PRR) for the supercritical start-up from room to cryogenic temperature. Nitrogen is used as the working fluid to verify the thermal behavior of the CLHP, and the heat-transfer capacity according to the nitrogen charging pressure of the PRR is investigated. To simulate a cryogenic environment, the CLHP is installed inside a space environment simulator, including a single-stage GM (Gifford McMahon) cryocooler to cool the condenser. The CLHP is horizontally installed to simulate zero gravity. The heat-transfer characteristics are experimentally evaluated through the loop circulation of the CLHP.

Transfer Characteristics

In this paper, experiments were conducted to achieve a better understanding of the oscillating heat pipe (OHP) operating behavior with water and ethanol as working fluid. The experimental results showed that there existed a necessary temperature difference between the evaporator and the condenser section to keep the heat pipe working. The maximum effective conductivity of the water OHP reached up to 259 kW/m K, while that of the ethanol OHP is of 111 kW/m K. Not all the OHPs are operated in the horizontal operation mode. The heat transfer performance of the ethanol OHP was obviously affected by the filling ratio and the inclination angle but the influence law is irregular. The effect of the filling ratio and the inclination angle of the water OHP were smaller than that of the ethanol one. The heat transfer performance of the OHP was improved with increase of operating temperature. The startup characteristics of the OHP depended on the establishment of the integral oscillating process, which was determined by the operating factors. The startup temperature of the ethanol OHP varied from 40°C to 50°C and that of the water, OHP varied from 40°C to 60°C without considering the horizontal operating mode. The water OHP showed a better performance and more stable heat transfer characteristics than the ethanol OHP, which had no obvious advantages of the startup capability as well.
