Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study the effect of water bath temperature on evaporator and condenser temperature of closed loop pulsating heat pipe with acetone as working fluid. Heat pipe is a heat exchanger with high heat dissipation capacity and used for cooling the electronic equipments. Here in this paper copper has been selected as material for heat pipe due to compatibility of copper with acetone as working fluid. Filling ratio of the working fluid significantly influence on the performance closed loop pulsating heat pipe. Here in this paper 60 % filling ratio has been selected for this filing ratio the effect of increasing water bath temperature on acetone closed loop pulsating heat pipe is investigated.

Keywords: closed loop pulsating heat pipe, condenser, evaporator, working fluid, filling ratio.
