Summary
The Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) is a highly efficient, reliable, and passive phase change heat transfer device that has attracted significant attention due to its numerous advantages. These include a large heat transfer capacity, strong anti-gravity capability, long heat transport distance, flexible installation, and precise temperature control. LHPs are considered among the most efficient cooling systems, offering superior heat transfer performance compared to some active thermal control components.
The primary focus of this special issue is to publish new cutting-edge research, progress, and insights in this prominent worldwide research area. Contributions are invited to address a wide range of applications spanning topics including but not limited to:
· space vehicle thermal control
· heat recovery
· aircraft anti-icing
· workstation cooling
· battery thermal management
· thermal management system of electric vehicles
· solar energy recovery
