Abstract

Tests were conducted in the laboratory with a 37-m-long thermosyphon buried in soil to simulate actual field conditions. The evaporator section was horizontal and the finned condenser section was vertical. The thermosyphon had a device to return part of the condensate to the far end of the evaporator. Unit conductance values were obtained for wind speeds ranging from 0 to 2.4 m/s directed at the condenser section. These conductance values were used in a finite element analysis to determine if they were adequate for foundation design in permafrost regions.
