A three-dimensional pulsating heat pipe includes a pipe member and a connecting member. The pipe member is coiled around an axis to form a plurality of loop portions, and the loop portions are arranged in order along the axis so as to form a three-dimensional coiled structure. The three-dimensional coiled structure has a heat receiving section, and the pipe member has different effective pipe cross-sectional areas on two opposite sides adjacent to the heat receiving section. The connecting member is connected to two ends of the pipe member, such that the connecting member and the pipe member together form a closed loop.

A cold plate including a cold wall, a first cavity, a first pipe, a second cavity, an expansion unit and a second pipe is provided. The first cavity covers on the cold wall to form a first fluid space, and the first pipe is connected with the first cavity. The second cavity is disposed inside the first cavity and covers on the cold wall to form a second fluid space. The expansion unit is disposed between the second cavity and the cold wall to interconnect the first fluid space and the second fluid space. The second pipe is disposed inside the first pipe and connected with the second cavity. Besides, a refrigeration system including the cold plate mentioned above is also provided.

Cold plate and refrigeration system

An evaporator, applicable to a two-stage expansion cooling system, is used for receiving a high-pressure liquid working fluid. The evaporator includes a thermal-conductive block having a channel system. The channel system includes a high-pressure channel, a low-pressure channel, and a second stage expansion channel. The second stage expansion channel has an input end and an output end. The input end is communicated with the high-pressure channel. The output end is communicated with the low-pressure channel, and has a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the low-pressure channel. The high-pressure liquid working fluid flows into the thermal-conductive block from the high-pressure channel, and then enters the second stage expansion channel through the input end. A part of the high-pressure liquid working fluid flowing out of the output end expands into a saturated low-pressure liquid working fluid and enters the low-pressure channel.
