This study presents design, construction and testing of a immiscible two working fluids thermosyphon with water and FC-40 to prevent freezing of vehicle starting up at temperatures below freezing point of water. The two working fluids thermosyphon was experimentally investigated on the startup characteristics at low temperatures below 0°C and then the thermosyphon was stable during startup and operated reliable at temperature of –30°C. The testing also showed that the performance and characteristics of the two working fluids thermosyphon differ from the charging ratio and mixture ratio of the two working fluids.

The frozen start up characteristics of the two phase closed thermosyphon using water and FC 40 as working fluid to prevents dry out by freezing of water at the condenser when below zero operation condition has been tested and studied. The experimental data showed that the thermosyphon using immiscible 2 fluids thermosyphon start up successfully at a -30℃ cooling condition as melted water by inflow 2nd working fluid to the condenser.
