Thank you very much for your response.
I would like to provide more details regarding my operating conditions, as they are somewhat more complex. The cold plate in my system will be exposed to both single-phase and two-phase boiling, with a refrigerant mass flow rate of 0.0243 kg/s. The operating conditions are as follows:
- Single-phase boiling: Inlet temperature at 35 °C and outlet at 70 °C.
- Two-phase boiling: Inlet temperature at 70 °C (saturated).
- Superheated vapor phase: Temperature rise from 70 °C to 90 °C.
Initially, I planned to apply a heat source temperature of 100 °C or 120 °C to a cold plate connected in series, with the goal of providing uniform heating throughout the process. However, based on your earlier comments, I am now concerned that this setup may not be feasible, as the temperature difference between the heat source and the refrigerant inlet could range from 65 °C to 85 °C, which may exceed practical or tested limits.
I am now considering an alternative approach of connecting three cold plates in series, each with a different heat source temperature, to better manage the thermal load at each stage of the process.
For context, my name is Liyean Soeun, and I am a master’s student conducting this experiment for academic purposes. I fully understand that several factors can influence the system’s performance, but I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have regarding the feasibility of this approach or potential limitations.
Thank you once again for your time and guidance.
