a condenser-evaporator system in a simple form as a hollow tube with layers of wire screens along the wall to serve as a wick, as shown in the following figure
a device has an extremely high thermal conductivity, and is used to transport heat
a device that takes advantage of the thermal properties of a boiling liquid to transfer large amounts of heat
an efficient thermal transfer device
a passive device that transfers heat by evaporation and condensation
a pipe containing a small amount of liquid
a refrigerant-charged device with a heat exchanger at either end
a sealed element in which heat is transferred by evaporation, vapor movement and condensation
a simple device that can quickly transfer heat from one point to another
a thermal linkage of very high conductivity consisting of a closed, evacuated tubular chamber with walls lined with a wick and partially filled with a pure fluid
a tube which has been fabricated with an integral capillary wick structure, evacuated, filled with a refrigerant, and permanently sealed
A device that transfers heat by the continuous evaporation and condensation of an internal fluid.
A heat pipe is a heat transfer mechanism that can transport large quantities of heat with a very small difference in temperature between the hot and cold interfaces.
