THERMAL SIPHON Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F28D15/02 

FIELD: heating systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention is designed for heat transfer and can be used for ensuring operation of mechanical devices submerged into liquid medium. Thermal siphon contains housing, the working volume of lower chamber of which is filled with liquid, cone by means of which the lower chamber with steam line for transporting steam is partitioned, steam generator in lower chamber and condenser in upper chamber. Condenser is cooled surface of upper chamber of thermal siphon, some part of lower chamber is intended for air accumulation and other gaseous impurities originally contained in thermal siphon. Valve for releasing some air to the outside is installed in lower chamber.

EFFECT: invention allows improving heat transfer effectiveness in thermal siphon from heated part to cooled section by intensifying heat transfer during condensation in conditions of high air content of the system.
