Abstract: | This paper reports a study on the effect of the condenser and evaporator resurfacing on overall performance of a 1 m height closed two-phase thermosyphon. Water was used as working fluid with a fill ratio and operating pressure was 0.75 and 160 mbar, respectively. The thermosyphon performances for plain and modified thermosyphon were studied at 44 power inputs from 43 W to 668 W. The results show that by making the evaporator more hydrophilic and the condenser more hydrophobic, it will be possible to increase the average thermal performance by15.27% and decrease the thermal resistance by 2.35 times compared with the plain one. |
