Abstract

jabbrv-ltwa-all.ldf jabbrv-ltwa-en.ldf Thermal management of electronic devices is crucial, as the demand for more power in compact spaces has brought many challenges. Phase change devices like heat pipes/vapor chambers (VC) are the way forward due to their excellent heat transfer capability across slight temperature differences. The 3 mm thickness vapour chamber developed in this work addresses this issue by incorporating the design modifications inside the VC, like the arrangement of the sintered powder wick-covered pillar, which ensures structural reliability, the condensate return and wickless condenser, which reduces the overall thermal resistance. The VC charges distilled water (2 cm 3 ) as the working fluid and tests it for varying heat input. The results show that VC outperforms the copper (Cu) plate as a heat spreader with 60% less thermal resistance, and the thermal resistance ratio (Cu/VC) is 2.51 for 60 W heat input, effectively demonstrating the vapour chamber’s ability to spread heat. The maximum temperature rise on the evaporator surface is well below the copper plate, which reduces the local hot spot on the heat source, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
