  17. Influence of channel geometry • The double inlet/outlet configuration is considered. • The width of the silicon wall between the channels is considered fixed (100 μm). • The mechanical resistance of high aspect-ratio channel has to be checked. • According to the present results, the material budget can be reduced without increasing the global pressure drop.

  20. Possible alternative refrigerants • For HTC calculation, Nusselt number is taken as constant (=3.2). • C6F14 is the only dielectric fluid considered in the table. • High cp allows to reduce mass flow rate and pressure drop. • Water displays optimal properties but can be used only above 0°C. • Liquid CO2 displays good properties but the saturation pressure is extremely high even at low temperature. • Ammonia displays optimal thermodynamic properties and also a very low saturation temperature . M. Battistin, E. Da Riva, V. Rao, P. Valente

  21. Pressure Drop with dual Inlet-Outlet@25°C with 2.3g/s for 48 Watts | 100 microns wall Fluid : Water Properties @ 25°C , 1 bar: Cp = 4181 J/kg-K kinematic viscosity (η) = 0.892 cSt Density = 997 kg/m3 • Water could be an optimal solution for operating conditions above 0°C • A cooling system operating below atmospheric pressure could be designed in order to avoid leakages problems. M. Battistin, E. Da Riva, V. Rao, P. Valente

  22. Pressure Drop with dual Inlet-Outlet@-25°C with 3g/s for 48 Watts | 100 microns wall Fluid : Glycol 45% solution Properties @ -25°C : Cp = 3211 J/kg-K kinematic viscosity (η) = 24 cSt Density =1080.6 kg/m3 Freezing Point = -30.5°C • Glycol cannot be used to employ water in microchannels below 0°C, because the viscosity is extremely high. M. Battistin, E. Da Riva, V. Rao, P. Valente

  23. Pressure Drop with dual Inlet-Outlet@-25°C and 18 bars with 4.5g/s for 48 Watts | 100 microns wall Fluid : Carbon Dioxide Properties @ -25°C, 18 bar Cp =2111 J/kg-K kinematic viscosity (η) = 0.143 cSt Density =1054.7 kg/m3 • The pressure drop with liquid CO2 is extremely low, but this is useless since the saturation pressure of CO2 is high (16.8 bar @ -25°C). M. Battistin, E. Da Riva, V. Rao, P. Valente

  24. Pressure Drop with dual Inlet-Outlet@-45°C with 2.19g/s for 48 Watts | 100 microns wall Fluid: Ammonia Properties @ -45°C, 0.9 bar Cp =4387.1 J/kg-K kinematic viscosity (η) = 0.43 cSt Density = 696.18 kg/m3 • Ammonia could be an optimal solution for operating conditions below 0°C • A cooling system operating below -35°C and below atmospheric pressure could be designed in order to avoid leakages problems. M. Battistin, E. Da Riva, V. Rao, P. Valente

  25. Conclusions • The velocity in the manifold of the present prototype is too high, therefore the total pressure drop is high (i.e. ~12 bar) and the flow distribution is not uniform. • Before improving the channels design, the manifold design must be fixed. • Adopting double inlets/outlets allow to half the pressured drop and improve the flow distribution without changing the overall manifold geometry. • Neglecting possible mechanical resistance problems, the material budget could be further decreased by adopting high aspect ratio channels. • From the hydraulic point of view, liquid ammonia at around -40°C would allow to operate a microchannel heat exchanger below the atmospheric pressure thus avoiding mechanical resistance and leakages problems.

Could it be the solution for GTK? • The solution has already been used for TOTEM electronics (25 W; 2 g/s; C3F8) • Low operation temperature easily achivable (-43°C during Totem tests) • Low opeartion pressure on the detector (1 bara; -37°C) • The system is running since 2007 with high reliability • Tranfer lines operates at ambient temperature: can be very long (300 m for Totem): the cooling station ca be in an accessible area (no operation in the protected zone) • Temperature stability and uniformity is granted by the evaporation temperature • Known thecnology both on detector structure than on the cooling system.
