This paper deals with heat pipes controlled by a static magnetic field and with an important side effect – the quantity of working fluid. Heat pipes are able to provide very effective heat transport. Several standard regulation methods are commonly used for this purpose. In previous experiments implemented in our laboratory, we have observed the significant influence of a magnetic field on the heat conductance of the selected heat pipe. A special heat pipe was manufactured for this purpose and pure oxygen was chosen as a working fluid, due to its suitable magnetic properties. The heat pipe operation and the magnetic field control depend on various parameters. This paper is focused on the influence of the quantity of working fluid. Some important results of our experiments are presented and discussed.Downloads
