Abstract:
In order to test the performance of typical electrohydrodynamic(EHD) conduction pumps and promote their applications in the microchannel liquid cooling of the electronic components, the flushed electrode and perforated electrode EHD conduction pumps are designed, and an experimental system of the EHD conduction pumping is established to test the performance of the two typical kinds of the EHD conduction pumps to transport the dielectric liquid HFE-7100. It is shown that at the applied voltage of 10 kV DC, the flow rate, the dynamic pressure, and the maximum static pressure of the EHD conduction pumping with six pairs of flushed electrodes are 194.5 mL/min, 40.3 Pa, and 72.1 Pa, respectively; while the flow rate, the dynamic pressure, and the maximum static pressure for three pairs of the perforated electrode EHD conduction pumping with a diameter of 1.5 mm are 438.2 mL/min, 173.0 Pa, and 363.5 Pa, respectively. So it can be said that the perforated electrode has better performance than the flushed electrode.
