Heat Pipe Basics and Demonstration on How a Heat Pipe Works

Heat Pipes are one of the most efficient ways to move heat, or thermal energy, from one point to another. These two-phase systems are typically used to cool areas or materials, even in outer space. Heat pipes were first developed for use by Los Alamos National Laboratory to supply heat to and remove waste heat from energy conversion systems.

Today, heat pipes are used in a variety of cooling applications from space to medical devices and power electronics cooling to aircraft and more! If you’re unsure if heat pipes are an ideal thermal solution for your project, contact us to discuss your application and our engineers can determine the best path forward.

ACT designs and manufactures custom heat pipes and heat pipe assemblies for a wide range of markets. Heat pipes are not only for terrestrial use but they are used in spacecraft thermal control as well. ACT manufactures different types of heat pipes for both applications with spaceflight heritage for the CCHP (constant conductance heat pipes) product line for spacecraft thermal control uses as well as SCWHP (space copper water heat pipes). ACT currently has over 90 million hours of spaceflight heritage for the CCHP line.
