What is a Heat Pipe?
A heat pipe is a two-phase heat transfer device with an extremely high effective thermal
conductivity. This high effective thermal conductivity, typically greater than 10,000
W/m-K, is achieved through a passive evaporation and condensation cycle initiated by
heat input. The heat pipe is an evacuated device that is charged with a small quantity of
working fluid. The inner surface of the heat pipe is lined with a capillary wicking material
which assists fluid transport. Heat is absorbed in the evaporator section and vaporizes
the working fluid. The vapor transports heat to the cooler condenser region where the
vapor condenses, releasing heat to a cooling medium such as air. The condensed working
fluid is returned to the evaporator by the capillary action of the wick structure.
