[0019] The principles and characteristics of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 The utility model provides a light more efficient refrigeration device, replaces the intercooler, becomes a more optimal selection scheme for hydrogen internal combustion aircraft and internal combustion engine automobile, specifically provides a hydrogen internal combustion aircraft hot air cooling heat pipe device, comprising,

[0021] Cooling cavity 6, cylindrical, one side has hot air inlet 1, the other side has hot air outlet 5, the cylindrical design is advantageous to the gas formation cyclone, makes hot air and heat pipe hot end in the cooling cavity fully contact, and makes heat fully transfer.

[0022] Fixed pipe, set up in cooling cavity 6,

[0023] Spiral piece 4, for copper spiral piece spiral setting in the outer periphery of fixed pipe, along the length direction of fixed pipe extension, multiple horizontal corresponding holes are opened on spiral piece 4,

[0024] U-shaped heat pipes are provided; a part of the pipe body of the heat pipe is located in the cooling cavity and is fixed on the spiral sheet through the hole on the spiral sheet; another part of the pipe body is located outside the cooling cavity; the U-shaped structure can better match the cylindrical cooling cavity; the heat pipe utilizes the phase change principle of the working medium to transfer heat; in the evaporation section (heated section) of the heat pipe, heat is transferred into the pipe to make the working medium absorb heat and evaporate from liquid to gas; due to the difference in steam pressure, the gaseous working medium moves to the condensation section (heat dissipation section) of the heat pipe; in the condensation section, the gaseous working medium releases heat and condenses into liquid again; under the capillary action of the wick, the liquid working medium flows back to the evaporation section, thus realizing the rapid heat transfer from the high-temperature area (evaporation section) to the low-temperature area (condensation section).

[0025] As an improvement of the scheme, the heat pipe is arranged in a U shape; a plurality of heat pipes are divided into two groups arranged oppositely to the left and right, and the spiral sheets in the cooling cavity are penetrated by the two groups; the two groups of heat pipes are aligned two by two. That is, externally, the cold end 2 of a heat pipe in one group is aligned with the cold end 2 of a heat pipe in the other group; internally in the cooling cavity, the hot end 3 of a heat pipe in one group is aligned with the hot end 3 of a heat pipe in the other group, and the cold end 2 of the heat pipe is arranged in order on the outer surface of the cooling cavity, so that the efficiency of air cooling is higher and heat can be more easily taken away.

[0026] As an improvement of the scheme, the cooling cavity is cylindrical, and the outer periphery of the spiral sheet is attached to the cooling cavity. This design divides the internal space of the cooling cavity by the spiral sheet to form a spiral space, so that the hot air entering the cooling cavity realizes rotational flow through the spiral path, thereby realizing sufficient contact and heat transfer between the hot air and the hot end of the heat pipe.

[0027] As an improvement of the scheme, reference Figure 5 In use, the heat pipe device is arranged in two groups and used in parallel, and the hot air is divided into two flow channels at the hot air inlet and then enters the heat pipe device and is combined at the hot air outlet.

[0028] After turbocharging, the air density increases and the temperature rises, and the air enters the cylindrical cooling cavity 6 through the hot air inlet 1. The copper spiral sheet 4 is embedded in the cylindrical cooling cavity 6 and is fixed. The copper spiral sheet 4 has a plurality of horizontal corresponding holes, the hot end of the U-shaped heat pipe is inserted into the copper spiral sheet 4 along the horizontal holes, and the copper spiral sheet 4 forms a spiral path in the cylindrical cooling cavity 6. The heat of the hot air is absorbed by the hot end 3 of the heat pipe and is transferred to the cold end 2 of the heat pipe through the action of the heat pipe, and finally the heat is dissipated through the heat transfer between the cold end 2 and the external air, achieving the effect of cooling the gas in the cavity. Finally, the temperature of the hot air passing through the cylindrical cooling cavity 6 is reduced and flows to the hot air outlet 5.

[0029] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
