optimization heat sink unit was applied in the LHP condenser. Then, the heat transfer characteristics of the flat
evaporator LHP with high-efficiency condenser were researched under different charging ratios, fan voltages and
LHP test directions. Finally, the energy consumption of the LHP cooling system was evaluated. The numerical
results showed that the novel louver folded fin heat sink unit has a better cooling efficiency than that of the
conventional straight fin heat sink unit. And the experimental results indicated that the flat evaporator LHP with
high-efficiency condenser exhibited better heat transfer characteristics at the input power range from 50 W to
450 W when the charging ratio of LHP was 33.1%. At the maximum input power of 550 W, the junction tem
perature of the flat evaporator LHP with high-efficiency condenser was 87.93 ◦ C at the fan voltage of 12 V, and
the junction temperature of this LHP at positive gravity direction of 30◦ was lower than that of other LHP test
directions. Additionally, the energy consumption of the efficient air-cooled LHP system was lower than one-
eighteenth of that of the water-cooled LHP system.

Fig. 16(a) and (b) for the seven LHP test directions, respectively. It can
be found from Fig. 16(a) and (b) that in the input power range of 50
W–250 W, the junction temperature Tj and Tj, Direction i - Tj, Direction 4 of the
air-cooled LHP at the test directions 1–3 is lower than that of the other

for the phenomenon can be that the working medium of reservoir at the
positive gravity test directions 1–3 may not directly contact the capillary
wick, and only relies on sintering copper powder on the inside wall of
the reservoir for the transfer of the working medium. For the anti-gravity
