Abstract
An Advanced Loop Heat Pipe ('ALHP') apparatus, for passively transporting waste heat over a long distance and rejecting it to a heat sink for heat rejection, an evaporator capillary pump ('ECP') for heat acquisition, includes a reservoir for storing the working fluid of the ALHP, an auxiliary pump for vapor management of the liquid side of the loop, a primary condenser for condensation of vapor from the ECP, and a secondary condenser for condensation of vapor from the reservoir. The reservoir, ECP, and condenser are connected by transport lines to provide a conduit for the working fluid to flow from one component to another. The reservoir also connects to the auxiliary pump by an auxiliary pump transport line via the condenser. The auxiliary pump further connects to the condenser by a vapor transport line.
