REVERSING HEAT-TRANSFER APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: thermal engineering; heat pipes. SUBSTANCE: apparatus that may be found useful for heat transfer in temperature control and air conditioning systems has evaporators each accommodating capillary-porous tip with central passage, set of steam outlet grooves on thermal-contact surfaces communicating with respective steam headers, and condensers. Evaporators are interconnected through condensate conduit and condensers, through steam conduit; evaporator and condenser are mounted in common case with condenser built integral with evaporator steam header. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities due to compact design and heat-transport ability. 2 cl, 3 dwg
