摘要：
Due to active chemical properties and a high price of cesium, few studies on medium temperature cesium heat pipe were reported, while most researches were focus on sodium, potassium and Na-K alloy heat pipes. To meet the demands of applications at medium temperature and a systematic academic research, a medium temperature cesium heat pipe was fabricated and experimentally tested in this paper. Heat fluxes were modulated by a high frequency heater and the temperature revolutions of heat pipe wall along the pipe length were monitored by a data acquisition system. The results showed that the start-up performance of the cesium heat pipe was similar to that of a sodium heat pipe, and the transition temperature of a cesium heat pipe could be accurately calculated with Kn=0.01. When heat flux q was 18.04W/cm2, the temperature distribution along the heat pipe indicated that the cesium heat pipe entered the start-up state with a sonic limit, and a temperature difference between adiabatic and evaporation sections reached 30.00℃. Increasing heating flux to 69.10W/cm2, the working temperature of heat pipe could reach 600.00℃ with the maximum temperature difference between the evaporation section and the adiabatic section less than 7.00℃. Furthermore, the effective length of this cesium heat pipe was 100% which showed an excellent heat transfer performance and temperature uniformity. © 2021, Chemical Industry Press Co., Ltd.
