Introduction to the Capillary Structure of Heat Pipes
Assuming that a heat source is situated at a higher place and the space for the heat sink fin lower, when a heat pipe is needed as a heat transfer element, the medium in the heat pipe is transferred back to the vaporization end from the condensing end by means of capillary phenomena generated by the capillary structure inside the heat pipe.
When is a Heat Pipe Suitable?
When the heat source is in a place where there is little space for a heat sink, the heat pipe can be used to transfer the heat to a place where there is more space and a heat sink can be installed.
Heat transfer principle of heat pipes
The heat-pipe process involves removing the internal air before injecting the working fluid and sealing it. Under low pressure, the vaporization temperature of the working fluid drops substantially.
Can Heat in a Mechanism Be Dissipated Using a Heat Pipe?
A heat pipe is a device that uses the principle that the medium inside needs to absorb (liquid to vapor) or release a large amount of heat (vapor to liquid) during a two-phase change to achieve rapid heat absorption and release and to transfer the heat to another place quickly.
