Özet

This work is a theoretical study that is related to the efficient use of heat pipes designed for cooling of computers. Refrigeration fluid absorbs heat from the heat source (Central Processing Unit - from CPU). The vaporizing fluid in the evaporator moves towards the condenser and condenses the cycle is completed. In this study, the designed cooling system with heat pipes mainly consists of a copper block located at CPU surface, six pieces circular channels inside block, and the heat pipes working are independent from each other. NH(3), R-22 and R-134a were chosen as refrigeration fluids. Five different film temperatures were used for each fluid. It was determined that the most efficient cooling of CPU can be obtained with R-22.
