Abstract: A heat exchanger distributor which facilitates homogeneous flow of a two phase multicomponent heat exchange fluid, such as a refrigerant fluid, comprising a plurality of spaced dividers, extending longitudinally through some or all of the length of the finned section of the distributor, which prevent lateral movement and agglomerization of gas bubbles and a lower threshold for flow reversal and liquid logging.

Abstract: A method for providing refrigeration to a refrigeration load such as superconducting equipment while reducing or eliminating potential two phase instability oscillations, wherein refrigeration condenses working fluid which is evaporated from the surface of a porous wick housed in an evaporator to generate a capillary pumping force to drive the condensed working fluid to the evaporator.
