TWO-PHASE DEVICES FOR THERMAL REGULATION OF HEAT LOADED COMPONENTS OF ELECTRIC TRANSPORT

Ensuring optimum thermal regimes of operation of engines, electronics, accumulator batteries, and other electric transport equipment is a problem of current importance. Granted the diversity of cooling systems of heat-releasing objects, the use of heat pipes and thermosyphons is one optimum area. Heat pipes and thermosyphons are noiseless in operation and do not require energy expenditures, which is very important for cordless electric transport. They can receive heat from the object being cooled, remove it beyond the boundaries of the volume fi lled with equipment and then transfer it to the cooling liquid or air. Using heat exchangers on heat pipes, it is possible not only to optimize heat regimes of the operation of an electric engine, batteries, power electronic equipment, but also to ensure the work of onboard climate control systems.
