Patent number: 8333235Abstract: A heat dissipation system is provided. The heat dissipation system includes: an evaporator having a plate chamber with the wick structures which has a plurality of pore sizes arranged in the plate chamber, a condenser, a vapor line, and a liquid line. The two-phase circulation of the vapor-condensate in the heat dissipation system, especially in the heat dissipation system with a plate evaporator, can effectively increase the heat conductivity of the plate heat source such as electronic chip. The design and composition of the wick structures are enormously decreased the turning-on temperature of the heat dissipation system and maintained the heat dissipation system in the balancing state under the low heat source power.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Yen-Ming Chang, Kuo-Hsiang Chien

Patent number: 7882889Abstract: A loop type heat dissipating apparatus with a sprayer for transferring heat between a heat source and a heat sink includes an evaporator, a condenser, and a working fluid. The evaporator contacts the heat source and includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a sprayer disposed between therebetween. The condenser contacts the heat sink and includes a third chamber communicating with the second chamber and a wick structure disposed on one side of the third chamber. The working fluid fills the loop type heat dissipating apparatus and is turned into microdroplets via a sprayer. The sprayer impinges the microdroplets into the second chamber where the microdroplets are then evaporated by the heat source before proceeding to the third chamber for condensation, liquefaction and adhering to the wick structure. Eventually, the working fluid flows back to the first chamber under a pumping force actuated by the sprayer and completes the cycle.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2006Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Shih-Kuo Wu, Kuo-Hsiang Chien, Jinn-Cherng Yang, Chi-Ming Huang
