摘要
通常热管中的工质把热能由热管的蒸发段输运到冷凝段,再借重力或吸液芯的毛细力把工质又返回到蒸发段。1981年美国专利局公布了《太阳能热管动力发动机》专利。作者分析这一专利至今未能实施的技术因难,提出了热管发电装置的技术方案和热工计算。
Generally,heat energy is transferred by working substance in the heat pipe from its evaporating section to its condensing section. Then the working substance is sent back to the evaporating section by the wick' s capillary action or by gravity. The US patent 'Rotating Heat Pipe Solar Power Generator''(published in 1981) is analysed and the difficulties in implementing it are examined,which leads the authors to propose their own technological and computational designs of the heat pipe generating device.
