Abstract
This paper deals with an experimental investigation of the effect of the working fluid inventory on the performance of the gravity assisted solar heat pipe. Measurements of solar flux and the temperature in different positions over the heat pipe have permitted us to evaluate the performance of the system for different working conditions. Results prove that the optimum performance is observed when the 2/3 of evaporator volume is filled with methanol.
