Herein, a horizontal CPU cooler with a pulsating heat pipe (PHP) for cooling desktop computer was developed. In the experiment, an electric heating block was used to heat a copper plate to simulate the heating process of CPUs. The cooling system consists of a cooling fan and a pulsating heat pipe cooler. The influence of cooling wind speed and heat load on heat transfer performance, start-up performance, and temperature uniformity of the PHP cooler was analyzed by controlling variable method. The wind speed was set to be 0 m/s, 0.1 m/s, 0.3 m/s, 0.5 m/s and 0.7 m/s respectively. The contour plots were used to analyze the uniformity of temperature distribution due to cooler. The results show that the start-up of the PHP led to a decrease in temperature of CPUs. As the cooling wind speed increased, the start-up time of the php dropped, the start-up temperature dropped, and its stability was also improved. The operation at different cooling wind speeds also changed the start-up mode of the PHP. The start-up performance was best at cooling wind speed of 0.3 m/s. The contour plot for temperature showed that the temperature distribution of the PHP cooler became more uniform with increased cooling wind speeds. There was excellent temperature uniformity at the cooling wind speeds of 0.3 m/s and 0.7 m/s. When the cooling wind speed was 0.7 m/s, the minimum average thermal resistance was 0.51 K/W.

A compact micro pulsating heat pipe was developed and tested to investigate thermal performance. Micro Flat Plate Pulsating Heat Pipe (FP-PHP) was fabricated using DRIE MEMS technique. A total of 10 parallel interconnected rectangular channels forming a meandering closed loop are engraved on the silicon wafer with a thickness of 1 mm. The top of the silicon wafer was covered by a transparent glass plate (#7740PyrexTM) with a thickness of 0.5 mm to allow visualization of the internal thermo-hydrodynamic behavior in the PHP. The overall FP-PHP has length of 50 mm, width of 15.5 mm, and thickness of 1.5 mm, respectively. The width and height of the engraved rectangular channel is 1 mm and 0.6 mm and the hydraulic diameter is 0.75 mm. The ethanol is used for working fluid. The results show that the FP-PHP without working fluid has thermal resistance of 17 °C/W and the FP-PHP with working fluid of filling ratio of 50% has thermal resistance of 4 °C/W. In other words, the FP-PHP has effective thermal conductivity of 650 W/mK which is about 1.6 times as much as of that of the Copper (keff = 400 W/mK). Therefore the developed FP-PHP can be used as compact high performance electronic cooling system.
