• A revised self-induced jet impingement device is introduced in pool boiling using R1336mzz(Z). • Liquid-vapor separation promoted by the revised device is confirmed from the visualization results. • The revised device does nearly no effort on the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient until a relatively high heat flux. • Parametric investigations on the characteristics of the revised device are conducted. • The revised device gains up to 69.5 % and 36.7 % in the critical heat flux and the maximum nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient, respectively. Pool boiling performance enhancement has attracted considerable interest on high power electronic cooling. In this paper, we introduce a self-induced jet impingement device for practical boiling enhancement, achieved by integrating the guidance tube with an orifice plate. With R1336mzz(Z) as the working fluid, we conduct visualization and parametric investigations on the pool boiling performance, considering the varying characteristics of this device. Visualization snapshots confirm the liquid-vapor separation and indicate that the two-phase flow pattern in the guidance tube eventually stabilizes as a churn-annular flow. Our findings suggest that self-induced liquid jet impingement has a minimal effect on the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient (h NB) under a certain heat flux, around 75 % CHF of the standard pool boiling, as the single-phase heat transfer is weakened due to the low thermal conductivity of R1336mzz(Z). As the heat flux intensifies, we observe substantial enhancements in both the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) and the Maximum Nucleate Boiling Heat transfer coefficient (h MNB) resulted from the delayed onset of boiling crisis, owing to the additional liquid supply and the promotion on vapor exhausting. The parametric studies reveal that the flow rate of the liquid jet, amplified by either extending the length or the inner diameter of the guidance tube, or by increasing the number of jet holes, positively impacts the boiling performance. However, these improvements show diminishing returns. Our study shows enhancements in CHF and h MNB of up to 69.5 % and 36.7 %, respectively, compared to the standard pool boiling.
