Abstract
Loop heat pipe (LHP) is heat transfer devices whose operation principle is based on the evaporation and condensation of working fluid, and use the capillary forces to ensure the fluid circulation. In this study, we proposed a new flat evaporator structure and micro LHP with the evaporator thickness of 3mm and one-way transport length of 200mm and a PTFE porous material as a wick was designed, fabricated and tested. From the results, stable operation in heat load amount of target and operation at maximum heat load of 12W has been confirmed.
