The water vapor immediately spreads and goes to the other end (condenser) of the heat pipe,
hence using the pressure generated by the minimum temperature difference.
At the opposite end known as the condenser part, the working fluid/water rejects out its latent
heat, which is rejected or produced to an external device i.e. heat sink.
The water then again returns to liquid/fluid form, and the wick structure inside the heat pipe
relatively or passively pumps the fluid/water in reverse direction to the evaporator section by
using capillary force.
By using this liquid and vapor phases, heat transport mechanism becomes extremely fluent and
efficient. Because of heat pipes closed loop design, heat pipes works continuously and passively,
gaining a very reliable and passive part in your thermal management system.
Types of Heat Pipes:
•
•
•
•
Hot Gas to Air
Hot Gas to liquid
Heat Pipe Panel Cooler
Heat Pipe Dehumidifier
Hot Gas to Air Heat Pipe Exchanger:
The Hot Gas-Air Heat Pipe exchangers consists of different types of tubular gravity, that are
supported with finned Heat Pipes and are regulated in a staggered pitch; depending upon the
application process. One of the advantages of Heat Pipe Exchanger is its ability to function
without cross contamination of media between the two streams.
