Thermal Fan

Technology Description This thermal fan device operates, in principle, similarly to a heat pipe by utilizing the latent heats of vaporization and condensation with the corresponding phase changes to move a fluid like air. A phase change working fluid is contained within a confined volume that is exposed to the low-grade heat. The working fluid is selected...
