The mechanically pumped two-phase loop (MPTL) has the advantages of long distance heat transport, high density and good temperature control. On TZ1, MPTL technology is adopted to support a series experiments evaporation condensation. main objective provide accurate (±0.5 ℃) control from −5 ℃ 40 remove 80 W experimental setup. In this paper, requirements, system design, hardware performance are introduced.
