- This paper proposes a novel loop heat pipe for use in energy recovery and transportation systems, which can achieve thermal conductivity 200-550% that of conventional heat-pipes. Practical implementation of this work shows a corresponding enhancement in heat transport capacity, enabling reduced cost and energy consumption. It led to several research grants including: EU (MSCA-IF-2018 835778), EPSRC (EP/R004684) and Innovate UK (70507-481546). The work won the 2015 European Dragon Star Award (no link available) and has been applied to three demonstration systems at Guangdong Five-Star Solar Energy Ltd (twx45@163.com), Shanghai Pacific Energy Technology Ltd (yingxu77@126.com) and Guangzhou Wuzhishi Ltd (mzpywzs@163.com).
