Description

Technical Field

[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that controls the temperature of a fluid by exchanging heat between hot and cold fluids. In a traditional heat exchanger, such as a plate-fin heat exchanger, the fluid exchanges heat through the wall during the flow process, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency, which leads to large size, high material consumption, and high cost of the heat exchanger. With the rapid development of the field of energy technology, the heat source has a higher calorific value, more complex shape, and more varied distribution (such as electronic equipment, aerospace vehicles, etc.), which poses higher challenges to reducing the size and weight of the heat exchanger and improving the heat dissipation capacity.

[0003] Spray cooling belongs to the category of two-phase fluid cooling. The atomized droplets formed by the spray impact the heat exchange surface to form a liquid film, which enhances the heat exchange process through convection and evaporation. It has the advantages of high heat dissipation capacity, low temperature difference between the surface and the working fluid, and low cooling fluid flow. Under small temperature difference conditions, the heat transfer coefficient it provides can reach 100~1000W / cm 2 . Summary of the Invention
