Research on the Applications of Heat Pipes in Cooling Aircraft Electrical Equipment

In order to ensure proper temperatures for electronic equipment and to meet the increasing heat dissipation capacity needs of airborne electronic equipment, a suitable heat-pipe for use in aircraft equipment needs to be found. Considering both the acceleration and the changes in tilt angle of the aircraft, performance analysis of five main types of heat-pipes showed that dual compensation chamber loop heat pipe and micro-channel plate heat pipe were the most suitable for use in airborne electrical equipment.
