Heat Pipe Overview and Explanation

What are Heat pipes?

Heat pipes are a type of cooling with a large heat flux transport capability.
Heat Pipes consist of an evaporator, an adiabatic section, and a condenser section. Various working fluids are used to transport the heat energy. Generally, the type of fluid determines the heat transport capability. Finally, a heat pipe includes a wick, the working fluid is returned from the condenser to the evaporator via capillary action through a heat pipes wick.

Types of Wicks in a Heat Pipe

Homogenous wicks are constructed of one type of material or machining technique.
Examples include wrapped screen. Sintered powdered metals and Axial groove and many others. Advanced Thermal Solutions off the shelf heat pipes uses both sintered powdered metal and grooved wicks because they're cost-effective and provide high thermal conductivity. Advanced Thermal Solutions sintered powdered metal heat pipes give an added advantage of handling high heat fluxes and deployment in any orientation even against gravity.Advanced Thermal Solutions design services can custom develop heat pipe solutions including homogenous and deposit wicks depending on the application.
