Abstract Heat pipes that operate in the medium temperature range (550-700 K) are very rarely used in industry despite the potential demand of use. There is
no consensus about suitable working fluids in this temperature range as research on possible working fluids is limited. One proposed working fluid is
naphthalene. In this paper, a number of tests have been undertaken on both an individual naphthalene heat pipe and a naphthalene heat pipe heat
exchanger. Unlike room temperature working fluids, medium temperature working fluids are solid at ambient temperature therefore they have
unusual transient start up behaviour.… More >
