Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional heat absorbing or dissipating devices using thermal conductive fluids often create larger temperature differences at specific positions due to fixed flow directions, leading to non-uniform temperature distribution.
Innovation Solution
The use of multi-pipe systems where thermal conductive fluids are transported in reverse directions through parallel or quasi-parallel first and second fluid piping arrangements, allowing for uniform temperature distribution by reversing the flow of thermal conductive fluids to achieve heat absorption or dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If thermal conductive fluids are transported through single piping in fixed flow direction, then the device structure is simple, but larger temperature difference is formed at each position leading to non-uniform temperature distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The single fluid piping is segmented into at least two separate fluid piping passages (first fluid piping and second fluid piping), each transporting thermal conductive fluid in opposite directions. This segmentation allows different regions of the heat absorbing/dissipating body to receive fluids at different temperatures, achieving more uniform temperature distribution across the body.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements reverse flow arrangement where the first fluid piping and second fluid piping transport thermal conductive fluids in opposite directions through the heat absorbing/dissipating body. This inversion of the conventional single-direction flow creates temperature compensation effects that uniformize the temperature distribution across the device.
2Temperature
If thermal conductive fluids are transported in reverse directions through multi-pipe systems, then uniform temperature distribution is achieved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple fluid passages into an integrated heat absorbing/dissipating body structure. The first and second fluid piping are arranged in parallel or quasi-parallel configurations within the same structural framework, sharing common inlet/outlet connections and structural support, thereby reducing overall system complexity despite the multi-pipe arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The heat absorbing/dissipating body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the structural housing, the heat transfer medium container, and the thermal exchange surface. The fluid piping system is designed to accommodate both heating and cooling operations by simply reversing fluid flow directions, providing universal functionality without requiring separate systems.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the thermal conductive fluids in temperature difference reversely transported by the first fluid piping and second fluid piping in parallel or quasi-parallel arrangement on the same end side to produce heat absorbing or dissipating function onto the passively heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space thereby forming a more uniform temperature distribution status on the heat absorbing or dissipating body (100) or the passively heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space (200).
