Transient analysis of conventional and advanced loop heat pipes with complex radiators under varying conditions where the heat load and the effective sink temperature change in time can be best accomplished using Thermal Desktop™.</p> <p>This paper presents a transient model of a LHP developed using Thermal Desktop™ (Sinda/Fluint). It includes the evaporator connected to the reservoir and condenser with fluid transport lines with bends, flow balancers, and connectors. The condenser is bonded to a honeycomb panel with two face-sheets spreading thermal energy across the radiating surfaces. The model was correlated to the thermal-vacuum test data.</p> <p>The modeling provided better understanding of the critical transient fluid-flow mechanisms encountered in the LHP under transient operational conditions. Analysis of the numerical results shows that the secondary wick should be transporting liquid from the reservoir to the primary wick during transient operation where the sink temperature is decreasing

Using no moving parts, the novel device is able to start from a supercritical state and cool a remote dissipation source to 80-90K. Design studies were conducted for integration requirements and component design optimization and prototype units were designed, fabricated and successfully tested with excellent results. The development included the miniaturization of CPL technology to allow heat acquisition from sources with a small footprint and direct integration to a cryocooler cold finger. Applications include the cooling of cryogenic electronics, sensors, and fuels. The technology possesses many advantages over cryogenic heat pipes including ground testability and mechanical isolation. Because of the CPLs ability to transport loads over a distance, cryocoolers can be located remotely from the detector (up to a meter away or across a gimbaled joint). In addition, it passively seeks the coldest rejection environment, allowing a single cryogenic CPL to enable switching between multiple passive cryogenic radiators.

The LHP is considered to be more robust than capillary pumped loops (CPL) because the LHP does not require any preconditioning of the system prior to application of the heat load, nor does its performance become unstable in the presence of two-phase fluid in the core of the evaporator. However, both devices have a lower limit on input power: below a certain power, the system may not start properly. The LHP becomes especially susceptible to these low power start-ups following diode operation, intentional shut-down, or very cold conditions. These limits are affected by the presence of adverse tilt, mass on the evaporator, and noncondensible gas in the working fluid. Based on analytical modeling correlated to start-up test data, this paper will describe how the minimum power required to start the loop is increased due to the presence of mass, noncondensible gas, and adverse tilt.

automotive climate control and building HVAC systems. The software is able to simulate transient operation of vapor compression cycles, predicting pressures, coefficients of performance, and condenser/evaporator liquid positions in a closed two-phase system with a fixed fluid charge. The program can also be used to size components, to estimate the impact of tolerances and other variations, and to help estimate uncertainties given limited test data.</p> <p>SINDA/FLUINT has a user base numbering in the thousands. It has several graphical user interfaces, preprocessors, and postprocessors; has strong links to CAD and structural tools; and has built-in optimization, data correlation, parametric analysis, reliability estimation, and robust design tools.</p> <p>Nonetheless, widespread application to vapor compression cycles is comparatively recent (Ref 2), and is largely due to an increased demand for transient modeling of air conditioning systems. Toward this requirement, SINDA/FLUINT’s unique abilities to analyze transient two-phase phenomena have been recognized as being critical to achieving accurate performance predictions.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/vc.pdf" type="application/pdf">vc.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">ICES</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Brent A.

Previous conceptual studies have focused on transporting these loads to large remote radiators. These concepts assumed the ability to transport the heat either passively or mechanical over large transport distances of 100 meters or more.</p> <p>A recent study, Innovative Deployable Radiators (IDR) for Space Solar Power, focused directly on the thermal control issues. This study has produced new concepts which break the system into small clusters of radiators which have more reasonable transport lengths of 1-2 meters. This study considers a system based on the klystron conversion technologies with a system architecture based on cluster radiators located near the waste heat source. The study evaluated various fluids for use between 50 and 500°C to determine their viability for use in LHPs. The evaluation considered fluid properties in addition to material compatibility with traditional LHP wick and containment materials.</p> <p>The results of this study have provided new insight regarding the feasibility and limitations of LHPs for Space Solar Power applications. New technology development areas have been identified for both traditional LHPs and liquid metal LHPs.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/AIAA2001-3078.pdf" type="application/pdf">AIAA2001-3078.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">AIAA</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Jane Baumann, Suraj Rawal</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:44:53 +0000 bfc-admin 1164 at https://www.crtech.com Design and Transient Simulation of Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems https://www.crtech.com/design-and-transient-simulation-vehicle-air-conditioning-systems <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Design and Transient Simulation of Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--uid--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--uid.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--uid.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'username' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> <span lang="" about="/user/1" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">bfc-admin</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2015-07-15T13:44:06-04:00" title="Wednesday, July 15, 2015 -

investigated for various terrestrial applications as well. For a potential user of these technologies, modeling at the system level has been difficult, to say the least, and concurrent engineering methods were non-existent. New methods are now available to address these needs and concurrent CAD methods result in fast and accurate model generation. These same tools can be used for system level modeling of heat pipes, both fixed conductance with or without noncondensible gas or variable conductance.</p> <p>Historically the thermal/hydraulic modeling of LHP has been approached with either oversimplified, design specific spreadsheets, or detailed thermal hydraulic models developed by the advanced user or LHP developer. To model these devices properly, and consequently gain confidence in the technology, the user needs to be able to model the LHP at the system level without becoming “caught up” in detail. This does not imply that the intricacies of two-phase flow and heat transfer within the evaporator core and secondary wicks of LHPs and CPLs aren’t important; but they should be left to the developers and the effects of these details can easily be enveloped through a series of steady state analyses. The potential user of the technology should focus on developing quasi-steady analyses to perform worst-case enveloping estimates, statistical treatment of the uncertainties, and post-test calibrations for use in extrapolation to untestable conditions.&nbsp; In a nutshell: if they are going to fly them, they’re first going to have to analyze them, integrated into their own vehicle model.</p> <p>This presentation will identify important LHP and CPL design parameters and how they should be modeled in addition to outlining the criteria for developing a system level model using new concurrent CAD-based methods.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME

field__item"><p>The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are interested in developing more efficient vehicle air conditioning (A/C) systems to reduce fuel consumption in advanced vehicle designs. Vehicle A/C systems utilizing electrically-driven compressors are one possible system design approach to increasing A/C system performance over various drive cycle conditions. NREL’s transient A/C system model was used to perform multivariable design optimization of electrically-driven compressor A/C systems, in which five to seven system design variables were simultaneously optimized to maximize A/C system performance. Design optimization results demonstrate that significant improvements in system COP are possible, particularly system COP &gt; 3, in a properly optimized system design with dynamically-controlled operation. System optimization analyses investigated dynamic A/C system design strategies employing dual-compressor-speeds in electrically-driven systems to evaluate their effects on system performance. A system optimization methodology was developed which can systematically quantify impacts on A/C system design and performance resulting from varying degrees of design influence being given to widely different design objectives. The technique is based upon formulating optimization objective functions from linear combinations of critical design performance parameters that characterize independent design goals. It was demonstrated here by giving varying degrees of design influence to maximizing system COP and maximizing evaporator cooling capacity over SC03 and US06 drive cycles.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/C599-061.pdf" type="application/pdf">C599-061.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">NREL</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">T.
