Abstract

increased heat dissipation and higher heat density of electronic equipment and/or parts released. A loop heat pipe(LHP) has been payed closer attention to the potential candidate of an electronic cooling. As of the LHP with a circular plate type evaporator developed, this study focused on its operating characteristics on the steady state in accordance with charging different working fluid. The relationship between working fluid and operating characteristics is discussed.
