Heat Pipe Features & Benefits:
1) Tube material: Copper/ Aluminum
2) Wick structures: Grooved – Low Cost, does not work well against
gravity
Wire Mesh – Most common method
Sintered – Highest performance and cost
3) High thermal conductivity
4) Light weight
5) Fast thermal response

1) Compact Electronics Enclosures: Heat exchangers from provide high-
efficiency, compact cooling for electronic cabinets AND enclosures, and
it also meet today's increasing demand for thermal requirements, due
to greater miniaturization.
2) Aerospace: Heat pipe is very attractive component in the area of
spacecraft cooling and temperature stabilization due to their low
weight penalty, zero maintenance, and reliability. Maintaining
isothermal structures is an important task with respect to orbiting
astronomy experiments under the adverse solar heating.
