摘要
The disturbance, caused by the boiling Phenomena in the inverted meniscus ac evaporator, is of great importancein the normal operation of the CPL, especially When the heat load is low. By theoretical and experimental studies onthis issue, it shows that the evaporator of the CPL operates in a mode of boiling in the Wick. By solving a set ofmomentum equations, it concludes that, this kind of boiling Phenomena in the wick cause no notable negativeinfluence on the normal peiformance of the CPL, although there really edests some adVerse influence during theCPL start-up. Addihonally, the causes of the dry-out of the evaporator under low heat load are conducted in thepaper. The conclusions are verified by subsequent experiments. More details about the experiments are alsodescribed in the paper.
