 Heat Pipe Basics The heat pipe is a device of very high thermal conductance. The idea of the heat pipe was first suggested by Gaugler in It was not, however, until its independent invention by George Grover in early 1960s that remarkable properties of heat pipe became appreciated and serious development work took place.heat pipe

 Heat Pipe Theory: Basically heat pipe is a device used to transfer heat energy from one point to another with quite sensational properties. Heat transfer occurs via evaporation and condensation and the heat transport fluid is recirculated by capillary forces which automatically performs action of heat transfer continuously. Heat pipe is constructed by three important parts namely 1. Vaccum tube (sealed) 2. Capillary wick structre 3. Liquid inside the heat pipe

 Applications of Heat Pipes: Heat Pipes are used comprehensively in variety of application areas some of them are listed below Spacecraft Computer systems Solar thermal Permafrost cooling Cooking appliances Ventilations and heat recovery nuclear power conversation

 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. Are heat pipes reliable? Since HP’s have no moving parts, they are extremely reliable. This is the reason they are used extensively in space applications where maintenance is not available.
