A method of providing stable pump operation in a two-phase cooling system is disclosed. The method can include providing a cooling system with a reservoir fluidly connected to a pump. The reservoir can include a liquid-vapor interface separating an amount of vapor coolant from an amount of substantially subcooled liquid coolant. The method can include delivering two-phase bubbly flow to an upper portion of the reservoir above the liquid-vapor interface. The two-phase bubbly flow can include vapor bubbles of coolant dispersed in liquid coolant. The vapor bubbles can condense upon passing through the liquid-vapor interface and interacting with and transferring heat to subcooled liquid coolant in the reservoir. A continuous outlet flow of single-phase liquid coolant can be delivered from the reservoir to the pump, thereby ensuring stable pump operation despite the presence of two-phase flow in portions of the cooling system. |
