Abstract: The paper presents the results of experimental research on pool boiling heat transfer of dielectric liquid FC-72. Measurements were made at atmospheric pressure on open surfaces with microchannels. Heat transfer surfaces, in the form of parallel milled microchannels, were made of copper. The rectangular cross-sectional microchannels were 0.2 to 0.5 mm deep and 0.2 to 0.4 mm wide. The surfaces, compared to a smooth flat surface, provided a five-fold increase in the heat transfer coefficient and a two-fold increase in the critical heat flux. The article analyses the influence of the width and height of the microchannel on the heat transfer process. The maximum heat flux was 271.7 kW/m 2 , and the highest heat transfer coefficient obtained was 25 kW/m 2 K. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with selected correlations for the nucleate pool boiling.
