Frequently asked questions on heat pipes?
What is a Heat Pipe?
A HP’s is a heat transfer device with an extremely high effective thermal
conductivity. HP’s are evacuated vessels, typically circular in cross sections,
which are filled with a small quantity of a working fluid. They are totally
passive and are used to transfer heat from a heat source to a heat sink with
minimal temperature gradients, or to isothermalize surface.
Can heat pipes work against gravity?
Yes, this occurs whenever the evaporator is located above the condenser. In
these applications the working fluid must be pumped against gravity back to
the evaporator. This occurs through wick structures that pump working fluid
through capillary pressure developed in the porous wick. The finer the pore
radius of a wick structure, the higher against gravity the HP’s can operate.
