高能光纤激光器在先进制造与国防等领域具有重要应用,但其高功率输出带来的日益严峻的热管理问题严重制约了其长期稳定运行与进一步发展。传统散热手段存在散热效率低、系统复杂等局限性。为此,提出一种浸没式相变冷却系统,利用低沸点工质R245fa 的相变潜热,以及和热源表面的充分接触实现高效散热。采用通过数值模拟与试验验证相结合的方法,研究了系统热力学特性与结构设计,开发了集成化封装方案,最终实现了高能光纤激光器高效散热。仿真结果表明,系统在100 s 内温度仅上升8 ℃,稳定在光纤激光器元器件安全工作温度范围内;工程样机通过试验同样验证了该方案的有效性,其总散热功率可达25 kW。该系统显著提升了散热效率与可靠性,降低了能耗与体积,为高能激光装备的技术升级与应用拓展提供了创新解决方案,具有重要工程应用价值。
Abstract
High-power fiber lasers are critical in advanced manufacturing and defense applications
yet their high-power output poses severe thermal management challenges that limit long-term stability and further development. Traditional cooling methods suffer from inefficiency and system complexity. This study proposes an immersed phasechange cooling system utilizing the latent heat of the low-boiling-point working fluid R245fa for efficient heat dissipation. By integrating numerical simulations with experimental validation
the thermodynamic characteristics and structural design were analyzed
leading to an optimized integrated packaging solution. Simulation results demonstrated a temperature rise of only 8 ℃ within 100 s
maintaining stability within the safe operating range of laser components. Experimental tests on an engineering prototype confirmed the system’s effectiveness
achieving a total heat dissipation capacity of 25 kW. The proposed system significantly improves thermal efficiency and reliability while reducing energy consumption and system volume
offering an innovative solution for advancing high-power laser technology and broadening its applications with substantial engineering value.
