Abstract
The present work reports on flow boiling experiments performed to characterize system-level performance of the MECH-X heat sink at mass fluxes of 680, 1440, and 3350â¯kg/s/m2. HFE7000 was used as a coolant at ambient lab temperature (â¼23â¯Â°C) and a system pressure of 377â¯kPa. A 3.95â¯mm2 heating element, which simulated a heat generating component, was maintained below 95â¯Â°C with heats loads exceeding 1â¯kW/cm2. Experiments were terminated at this heat flux due to saturating a 50â¯VDC laboratory power supply. Results are also presented at a system pressure of 239â¯kPa, and results are compared to first generation PPF heat sinks.
