Title:
HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004040218
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A system includes a heat transfer system (105) and a priming system (110) coupled to the heat transfer system. The heat transfer system includes a main evaporator (115) having a core (135), a primary wick (140), and a secondary wick (145), and a condenser (120) coupled to the main evaporator by a liquid line (125) and a vapor line (130). A heat transfer system loop is defined by the main evaporator, the condenser, the liquid line, and the vapor line. The priming system is configured to convert fluid into a liquid capable of wetting the primary wick of the main evaporator. The priming system includes a priming evaporator (150) coupled to the vapor lines, and a reservoir (155) in fluid communication with the priming evaporator and coupled to the secondary wick of the main evaporator by a secondary fluid line (160).
