Abstract

Heat pipe is an essentially passive heat transfer device having high thermal conductivity. In hydraulic power pack use of traditional shell and tube heat exchanger would require lot of space, more power and maintenance cost. So heat pipe device is easily implemented for cooling of hydraulic oil. The heat pipe equipped hydraulic oil cooler uses a heat pipe module comprises of aluminum base block with oil channels machined on it. From hot oil chamber hot oil is passed through each modules of heat pipe. The hot oil passed through evaporator end transferring heat to condenser end. Heat transfer takes place by alternate evaporation and condensation of working fluid inside it. The condenser section of heat pipe is fitted with radial finned structure exposed to air to improve heat transfer rate. Ambient air is drawn over the fins using blower so that the fluid condensed and returns to heat source to repeat the process. In this hydraulic oil cooler heat is removed from hot oil to surrounding air using heat pipes and fins. The objective of the present experimental set up is to enhance the heat transfer of hydraulic oil using heat pipe. The study shows the heat pipe developments for cooling of oil for various applications like power pack, chemical industries etc.
