Abstract Extended experiments were conducted on the oscillation characteristics of merged liquid slugs in a horizontally oriented polymer pulsating heat pipe (PHP). The PHP’s serpentine channel comprised 14 parallel channels with a width of 1.3 and a height of 1.1 . The evaporator and condenser sections were 25 and 50 long, respectively, and the adiabatic section in between was 75 mm long. Using a plastic 3D printer and semi-transparent filament made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, the serpentine channel was printed directly onto a thin polycarbonate sheet to form the PHP. The PHP was charged with hydrofluoroether-7100.… More >
