3. Heater power distribution analysis
The D06 prototype with single-phase water tests: presented at WG4 Meeting the 27th July 2012
Two warmer regions were seen towards the centre of the stave at the sides.
Possible causes:
Lack of thermal contact plate-heater
Manufacturing difficulties
Gluing defects
Heater power dissipation maldistribution?
8 L min-1, 0.5 W cm-2
A single heater and the D04 prototype heater will be powered up:

14. HTC wall-fluid [W m-2 K-1]
Conclusion
Almost the same cooling performance is achieved with single-phase water cooling circuit as when using evaporative C4F10 for the same prototype.
There is not a big increase of the HTC wall-fluid using evaporative C4F10
ΔT wall-water: through the HTC, establishes the margin of improvement by using a better cooling system for this setup:

Optimization lines
Stave optimization:
Pipe inner diameter: can be smaller than 1.5 mm (but less contact area!)
More rigid piping: PEEK (avoid deformations, pinching, ensure contact)
D08 prototype shows no better thermal performance with evaporative flow
Improve weak parts of model (thermal contact, gluing…)
Structure thermal analysis/simulation helpful
Avoid connectors: leaks, extra pressure drop.
Proposal: single pipe w/ 180 deg elbow.
In/Out connector: select useful pipe diameter.
Setup optimization:
A by-pass will be added to the circuit in DSF in order to be able to work with smaller mass flow rates (especially microchannel)
For this reason, a coriolis flow meter will be moved in DSF
Need for subcooled liquid before the flow meter!
Sensors calibration (see backup slide).

In the real case, x3 > 1. The deviation is the % of total error resulting frpm measuring p, T and calculating the enthalpies (RefProp).

At point 3, vapor quality at the stave outlet (calculated using an energy balance) indicates that the fluid is in the the two-phase region. If that is the case, then:
However, a is read instead. The difference remains stable for most of the cases:
Calibration systematic error?
