| Summary |
Pool boiling promises ideal high-power thermal management, yet simultaneous improvement of heat flux ceiling and efficiency remains unsolved. This technology uses helix wires to set all-time records for both in saturated water pool boiling—fully passive, zero external energy. Validated for AI chip cooling and confirmed effective in microgravity testing for space electronics. TRL 7, protected by a Taiwan invention patent. Target: the cross-gravity two-phase thermal design reference. |
| Scientific Breakthrough |
First boiling enhancement to systematically manage vapor departure alongside generation, suppressing Kelvin-Helmholtz instability through helix wire geometry. The Lift and Flip mechanism passively enables simultaneous CHF (312.2 W/cm²) and HTC (23.3 W/cm²·K) records across 50+ published datasets. Conical geometry replaces buoyancy with Laplace pressure gradients, validated in 27 microgravity experiments at ZARM (G=1×10^-4), confirming cross-gravity applicability. |
| Industrial Applicability |
Two-phase immersion cooling holds under 2% market penetration due to clogging, degradation, and high parasitic power in existing methods. This technology's passive geometric flow structure delivers zero additional energy, no degradation, and low cost, breaking commercial deployment barriers. Applications span AI chip cooling, NCHC supercomputing upgrades, and TASA satellite thermal management. Compatible with Taiwan's existing supply chain at a fraction of comparable costs. |
