Abstract (en)

A nucleate boiling sensor arrangement for liquid cooling systems, comprising a sensor positioned in a support structure and at least one nucleation cavity, said nucleation cavity having a zone of bubble formation, a portion of the sensor positioned at the zone of bubble formation so as to detect initiation of a nucleate boiling state. A method of measuring a nucleate boiling temperature of a surface having at least one nucleation cavity in liquid cooling systems, comprising the steps of positioning a portion of a sensor at a zone of bubble formation of at least one cavity and monitoring a temperature at said zone of bubble formation to detect initiation of nucleate boiling state.
