Abstract
A heat pipe assembly that includes at least one axial groove heat pipe and at least one porous media heat pipe. The porous media heat pipe may be embedded into a flange of the axial groove heat pipe, or embedded into a wall of the axial groove heat pipe, or embedded into another bore of the axial groove heat pipe. The evaporator of the at least one porous media heat pipe may be located remotely and can accept a high heat flux, while a condenser of the at least one porous media heat pipe is attached to the axial groove heat pipe.
Claims5
A heat pipe assembly comprising at least one axial groove heat pipe, and at least one additional heat pipe with a porous wick in an evaporator, the evaporator being located remotely from the axial groove heat pipe and can accept a heat flux of at least 50 W/cm2, a condenser of the at least one additional heat pipe being attached to the axial groove heat pipe.
