Abstract
In a compact closed two-phase loop thermosyphon which consists of a multi-r adiator and a refrigerant bath with multiple power modules mounted vertical ly, the heat radiation performance deteriorates as the refrigerant bath bec omes thinner. We have found that this is because the return condensate is b locked by the back flow of the bubble in the return path when the heat load decreases and increases sharply. We have also improved the heat radiation performance by providing an adiabatic path between the boiling area and the return path.
