Vapor-lift pump heat transport apparatus
First Claim
1. An vapor-lift pump heat transport apparatus comprising:
- a heat exchange circulating solution container that contains a heat exchange circulating solution and vapor of the heat exchange circulating solution;
solution outlets through which the heat exchange circulating solution is output from the container;
a vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet through which a vapor-liquid two-phase fluid consisting of a high-temperature heat exchange circulating solution and vapor bubbles of the high temperature heat exchange circulating solution are input to the container;
an opening in a top portion of the container and communicating with an environmental space of the container; and
a circulating solution transport passage having a first transport passage connected to the solution outlet and including a sensible heat releasing heat exchanger, a second transport passage through which an internal, low-temperature heat exchange circulating solution exchanges heat with the heat exchange circulating solution in the container or the heat exchange circulating solution and its vapor in the container, and a third transport passage connected to the vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet and including a heating heat exchanger, each of the first and third transport passages being connected to the second transport passage, whereinthe vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet is disposed in a central portion of the container,solution outlets are disposed on opposite sides of the vapor-liquid two-phase inlet, on a lower portion of the container, andbranches of the first transport passage are connected to respective solution outlets and merge into a trunk passage that is connected to the second transport passage.

Abstract
A vapor-lift pump heat transport apparatus having a small heat resistance and a large heat transport capacity. A heat exchange circulating solution container has a first space and a second space communicating with the first space through a communication opening and contains a heat exchange circulating solution, and vapor thereof, in each space. A circulating solution transport passage includes a pipe connected to the solution outlet of the container and provided with a sensible heat releasing heat exchanger, a pipe disposed in the container, and a pipe connected to a vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet and provided with a heating heat exchanger. A vapor-liquid two-phase fluid flows into only the first space through the vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet. When the entrance of the vapor-liquid two-phase fluid has caused a pressure difference between the first and second spaces, a difference occurs between the positions of the vapor-liquid interfaces in the first and second spaces.
