WHAT IS HEAT TRANFER ?

HEAT TRANSFER

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns with the generations,use, conversion and exchange of thermal energy and heat between physical systems. Different modes of heat transfer 1.conduction 2.convection 3.thermal radiations.

WHAT IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM?

Heat is major problem,generates impulsive and extensive inconvenience in mechanical system. Heat generated if not transfer will cause mechanical problems,resulting in losing the accuracy of your machine which will finally end up in crap. Heat generated produces intense pressure mechanical distortion,and more frictional problems .

The beautiful solution

A heat pipe or heat pin is heat transfer device that combines the principle of both thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the heat transfer between two solid interfaces.

HEAT PIPE
For a MAJOR PROBLEM

A BEAUTIFUL SOLUTION

Construction,design and working

Different construction possible in heat pipes

Flat heat pipes

Loop heat pipes

Advantages of heat pipes

Requires low maintenance. Efficiency is high. They are better conductors. They can be used as thermal diode's. Wide range of heat fluxes and temperature can be attained in single design.

Can be concluded for various dimension's.

Only criteria is the working temperature .

Limitations of heat pipes

They must be tuned to particular cooling conditions. Vaporization of working fluid. Below certain temperature phase change does not happen. Most manufacture cannot make a traditional heat pipe of less than 3 mm diameter (due to material limitations).

Applications

Used in nuclear power plants. Applicable in space craft technology for extreme thermal conditions.

Used in computer systems transfer of heat from cpu's to environment.

Solar heaters.

Pipelines over permafrost. (trans-Alaska pipeline system)

Cooking roasted food. (transfer of large volume of heat for low temperature)

ventilation heat recovery systems.

SPECIAL APPLICATION IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Temperature Range: Heat Pipes are available in two temperature ranges. For Injection Moulds: Heat Pipes having temperature range from +5 deg. C to + 200 deg. C. The main application of these types of Heat Pipes are in Injection Moulding, Compression / Transfer Moulding and Rotation Moulding, Spiral Screws.

For Die-Casting Dies: Heat Pipes having temperature range from +5 deg. C to + 350 deg. C. The main application of these types of Heat Pipes are in Die-Casting, Spiral Screws in plastic moulding.

It is advisable to order the Heat Pipes suitable to the applications temperature range. If the Heat Pipe gets heated above its operating temperature, it releases a small amount of non-toxic gas and becomes inoperative. Material of construction: Copper / Stainless Steel

HEAT PIPES IN HEAT EXCHANGERS

AIR TO AIR HEATPIPE HEATEXCHANGER .Typical finned air to air Heat Pipe heat exchangers comprise of number of tubular gravity assisted finned Heat Pipes arranged in staggered pitch, depending upon the application. One of the advantages of the Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger is its ability to operate without cross contamination between the two gas streams.

..Use of Gravity Assisted Heat Pipe complies orientation evaporator above condenser for the Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger.

AIR TO WATER HEATPIPE HEAT EXCHANGER

This heat exchanger resembles Air to Air unit, only difference is liquid/water tank is provided at the condensation section to preheat liquid/water.
