What Is a Thermosiphon?

Thermosiphons are passive, two-phase thermal management systems that have a wide variety of benefits and potential applications.

热虹吸是一种高效且多功能的两相冷却溶液,在过去几年中普及。在我们的三个部分博客系列中,我们将恰好恰好是Thermiphon是什么以及使其独特的关键功能。

What Are Thermosiphons?

A Thermosiphon is a passive, two-phase cooling system that relies on gravity to circulate a fluid rather than a capillary wick structure often used in heat pipes and other heat transport devices. As with all passive two-phase cooling, the liquid and vapor exist within the self-contained envelope and contain no pumps or other moving parts.

While there are several different constructions for Thermosiphons, they generally all consist of three basic components: an evaporator, a fluid loop (or adiabatic section), and a condenser. The evaporator absorbs energy into the system, which causes the working fluid, usually a refrigerant or other dielectric fluid, to turn into vapor. The vapor then travels through the adiabatic section (vapor tube) due to the pressure difference between hot evaporator and cool condenser (buoyancy), where the heat is expelled from the system and the vapor condenses back into a liquid and returns to the evaporator via gravity. This process is repeated indefinitely as long as there is heat to reject from the system.

什么使热虹吸从其他两相冷却系统中独一无二的是它们缺乏任何类型的芯吸结构。在热管中的芯吸结构产生毛细管压力以返回冷凝的流体,热虹吸依赖于相同的过程的重力。这允许它们更有效地携带较高的热负荷,而是需要在特定的重力方向上设计和使用热虹吸物。热虹吸蒸发器必须位于冷凝器下方,使得重力可以返回工作流体。

Common Applications for Thermosiphons

Thermosiphons are useful for a wide variety of industries and devices. Thermosiphons are effective enterprise solutions for CPUs, GPUs, ASICs and FPGAs within servers, networking equipment, and cabinets. Industrial and power applications benefit from thermosiphons for cooling wind and solar inverter IGBTs. Power amplifiers in telecommunications equipment like Remote Radio Units and full cabinets leverage the high cooling capacity of thermosiphons. The heat transfer coefficient of a thermosiphon is hundreds of times more than conventional materials like aluminum or copper and energy is transported with consistent temperatures throughout the unit. This makes Thermosiphons ideal for larger surfaces, heat transfer across multiple devices, or as a cost-effective option for any application where orientation with respect to gravity is known and fixed.
