THERMAL DIFFUSION DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011718 titled 'THERMAL DIFFUSION DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a thermal diffusion device that consists of a housing with two inner wall surfaces facing each other, a working medium inside the housing, a porous body between the inner wall surfaces, and a support that holds the inner wall surface and the porous body. The support is positioned in a way that creates a liquid passage for the working medium between the porous body and the first inner wall surface. The region where the first inner wall surface overlaps the porous body is smaller than the region where it does not overlap.

  • The device is a thermal diffusion device.
  • It includes a housing with two inner wall surfaces.
  • The working medium is contained within the housing.
  • A porous body is placed between the inner wall surfaces.
  • A support is present inside the housing to hold the inner wall surface and the porous body.
  • The support creates a liquid passage for the working medium.
  • The region of overlap between the first inner wall surface and the porous body is smaller than the non-overlapping region.

Potential Applications:

  • Heat exchangers
  • Thermal management systems
  • HVAC systems
  • Energy-efficient devices

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient transfer of heat between the working medium and the inner wall surfaces
  • Enhanced thermal diffusion
  • Reduction of heat loss

Benefits:

  • Improved thermal efficiency
  • Energy savings
  • Compact design
  • Enhanced heat transfer capabilities


Original Abstract Submitted

a thermal diffusion device that includes: a housing including a first inner wall surface and a second inner wall surface opposed to each other in a thickness direction; a working medium in an internal space of the housing; a porous body between the first inner wall surface and the second inner wall surface; and a support inside the housing along a direction of extension of the porous body and configured to support the first inner wall surface of the housing and the porous body. the support is positioned such that a liquid passage for the working medium is defined in a space surrounded by the porous body and the first inner wall surface. in plan view of the housing, a region where the first inner wall surface overlaps the porous body is smaller than a region where the first inner wall surface does not overlap the porous body.
