| Abstract: | The paper presents experimental investigations on liquid metal (sodium and potassium) heat pipe operating and startup. Thus, is studied the wickless gravity assisted heat pipes, that presents a high non-uniformity of the temperature profile along the entire pipe. Because the temperature increasing of the evaporator lower end, it is compulsory to provide wick in the liquid metal heat pipes. There are recommended composite wicks with grooves and screen, or some screen layers. |
