Given article presents experimental results of pulsating heat pipe starting mode depending on input heat flux. It is shown that under high input heat fluxes exceeding the value of transient one pulsating heat pipe reaches steady-state conditions much more quickly in comparison with low input heat fluxes. For high input heat fluxes heat transfer crisis starts earlier than for low ones. The obtained results were compared with data from the literature. The conclusion was made that pulsating heat pipe starting characteristics are greatly influenced by the way of cooling of condensing zone and by device geometrics.
