Abstract:
This paper reports a passive cooling of an outdoor telecommunication cabinet using a loop thermosyphon. The system performance is studied using different working fluids (n-pentane, HFC-365mfc, and SES-36). The experimental tests are conducted for different fill charges of the working fluids and various heat loads. SES-36 working fluid is retained as the best working fluid depending on its zero flammability, low boiling temperature, and thermal performance.
