T1 TWO-PHASE SYSTEMS FOR LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES COOLING JF Heat Pipe Science and Technology, An International Journal JO HPST YR 2011 FD 2011-12-01 VO 2 IS 1-4 SP 121 OP 131 K1 two-phase thermal control system K1 conventional thermosyphon K1 loop thermosyphon K1 heat pipe K1 LED lamp K1 radiator K1 working fluid K1 heat transfer AB Extensive development of the light-emitting diode (LED) devices on the basis of LED matrix offers capabilities for LED to occupy an increasingly important place for street and industrial lighting as more reliable and energy-efficient. However, there are not enough experimental data on the optimization of the cooling systems for LED devices. Traditionally, the cooling systems for LED devices are designed with even pitch of LED locations on the radiator's surface. By the increase of LED power the radiator's surface and the distance between the LED locations grows correspondingly. It results in the increase of the mass and size of the LED device. This paper presents some designs of twophase thermal control systems for the LED cooling on the basis of conventional thermosyphon, loop thermosyphon, and heat pipe and studies the experimental data, which were investigated for the twophase systems considering the gravity influence. The presented results include: some designs of the two-phase systems for the LED cooling; start-up characteristics under low, high, and intermediate powers; power cycling (monotonic and random) and sink temperature cycling behavior; and temperature drop and temperature oscillations during startup and working regime.
