This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the effectiveness of using a thermoelectric converter to control the loop heat pipe operating temperature. The compensation chamber (CC) was controlled at the set point temperature by cooling and heating the TEC module, of which one side is attached to the CC and the other side is connected to the evaporator through a thermal strap. The test results show that the TEC can control the operating temperature to the set point temperature. The power saving by using the TEC was also demonstrated.
