Abstract

air cooling Blades capillary-pumped Cogeneration Electric resistance Heat engines heat exchanger Heat sinks Heat transfer Impellers loop heat pipe Permanent magnet motors permanent-magnet motor Shafts Thermal resistance wick
We report the design and analysis of a high-power air-cooled heat exchanger capable of dissipating over 1000 W with 33 W of input electrical power and an overall thermal resistance of less than 0.05 K/W. The novelty of the design combines the blower and heat sink into an integrated compact unit (4" × 4" × 4") to maximize the heat transfer area and reduce the required airflow rates and power. The device consists of multiple impeller blades interdigitated with parallel-plate condensers of a capillary-pumped loop heat pipe. The impellers are supported on a common shaft and powered with a low-profile permanent magnet synchronous motor, while a single flat-plate evaporator is connected to the heat load.
