first embodiment

[0073] Initially reference will be made to FIG. 1 to describe a loop thermosyphon in the present embodiment and a structure of a Stirling refrigerating machine installed with the loop thermosyphon attached thereto.

[0074] As shown in the figure, a Stirling refrigerating machine 200 is placed on a supporting platform 250 and supported by supports 254a, 254b provided on platform 250 at a bottom plate 252. Furthermore, a loop thermosyphon 100A is also placed on platform 250 and supported thereon by support 254a, 254c provided at a bottom plate 252. Stirling refrigerating machine 200 and loop thermosyphon 100A supported by platform 250 are disposed in a casing of prescribed equipment (e.g., a refrigerator). Note that platform 250 has bottom plate 252 parallel to a bottom surface of the casing of the equipment.

[0075] Stirling refrigerating machine 200 is structured and operates, as described hereinafter.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 1, Stirling refrigerating machine 200 includes a pressure c...

Abstract

A loop thermosyphon includes a closed circuit configured of an evaporator, a condenser, a feed pope and a return pope, and the evaporator is an assembly including a header pipe associated with the feed pope, a header pipe associated with the return pipe, and a plurality of aligned pipes. Each of the aligned popes is a serpentine tube defined by a linear portion forming a plurality of stages in vertically parallel layers, and a curved portion connecting such linear portions together. The condenser is entirely inclined relative to a bottom surface of a casing mounting the loop thermosyphon such that the serpentine tube's linear portions have a bottommost linear portion inclined in a direction allowing the bottommost linear portion to be closer to the bottom surface of the casing as the bottommost linear portion approaches the header pipe associated with the return pipe.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates generally to loop thermosyphons, Stirling refrigerators having the loop thermosyphon mounted, and cooling apparatuses equipped with a Stirling refrigerating machine. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Conventionally, heat radiation systems employing heat sinks, heat pipes, thermosyphons and the like have been known as heat radiation systems radiating heat generated from heat sources. For a heat radiation system with a heat sink attached to a heat source, the heat sink has a significant distribution in temperature. As such, the remoter it is from the heat source, the less it contributes to heat radiation. It thus has its limit in improving heat radiation performance. In contrast, heat radiation systems employing a heat pipe, a thermosyphon or the like employ a working fluid to transfer heat generated at a heat source. As such, they have a significantly higher ability to transfer heat than a heat sink and can thus maintain high heat radiation pe...
