Revolutionary loop heat pipe transports 10 kW of waste heat -- No electricity required solar, Electric vehicles
A team of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan has developed a loop heat pipe that can transport up to 10 kW of heat without the need for electricity. This heat transport capability is the largest in the world. The group’s LHP aims to contribute to energy savings and carbon neutrality in various fields, including industrial waste heat recovery, solar heat utilization, electric vehicle thermal management, and data center cooling.
The EV industry is seeing a rising demand for energy-efficient cooling methods because of companies’ growing awareness of their carbon footprint. LHPs help EVs improve overall efficiency by providing cooling that does not require electricity, reducing the need for electrical power. The group enhanced the wick section of the LHP by making it thinner, longer, and wider while preserving its high-quality porous properties. They also improved heat transport capabilities by narrowing the channels that allow the vapor to escape from the evaporator and adding additional channels on the sides, thereby increasing the total number of channels.
