The effect of inclination on the performance of a non-anodized TPCT is investigated experimentally. Experiments have been conducted with Aluminium TPCT using Acetone as a working fluid. TPCT is tested at different heat inputs and inclination angles (with respect to horizontal). Heat inputs are 50W, 100W, 150W, 200W, 250W and 300W. Inclination angles are 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80° and 90°. Counter current flow limit and boiling limit are 496 W and 335 W respectively. To investigate the optimum inclination angle for TPCT evaporator resistance, condenser resistance and total thermal resistance are calculated. It is found that total thermal resistance decreases as inclination angle increases at heat input 50W, 100W and 150W. On the other hand, at heat input above 200W the effect of inclination angle is negligible.
