Abstract: The device and methods described herein relate to the isothermal heat transport through an intermittent liquid supply to an evaporator device, thereby enabling high evaporative heat transfer coefficients. A liquid and vapor mixture flows through miniature and micro-channels in an evaporator and addresses flow instabilities encountered in these channels as bubbles rapidly expand. Additionally, a high percentage of the fins are exposed to vapor and limit the required charge of refrigerant within the system due to effective condensate removal in the condenser.

Abstract: Problem to be Solved To provide a heat exchanger that can increase the performance by setting an optimal number of tube groups in a configuration where each of the tube groups is provided with headers. Solution The number of arrays of tube groups of a core section 2 is set to three rows. The number N of heating medium flow holes 21 per tube is set for each width dimension Tw of tubes 20, and the tubes 20 are formed such that the width dimension Tw of the tubes and a flow channel cross-sectional area S satisfy a relationship of S1?S?S2. Therefore, the number of arrays of the tube groups in the core section 2 can be set to an optimal number of arrays for improving the endothermic capacity and reducing the weight, and sufficient refrigerant flow rate and pressure resistance can be secured. As a result, even when there is a restriction on the size of the entire heat exchanger, a light high-performance heat exchanger can be configured.
