Abstract
A method for producing a heat pipe includes the steps: providing a pipe-shaped casing element having a length and an interior; filling a powder with particles into the casing element to form a capillary structure in the casing element; connecting the particles of the powder to one another, wherein the interior enclosed by the casing element is filled with the powder partially or in its entirety at least across a partial area of the length of the casing element, and subsequently the connection of the particles of the powder to one another and preferably also to the casing element in a layer lying against the casing element is established from the outside by inductive heat generation.
Claims5
A method for producing a heat pipe, the method comprising the steps:
- providing a pipe-shaped casing element having a length and an interior;
- filling a powder with particles into the interior of the casing element while feeding in thermal energy from the outside by inductive heat generation to connect the particles to one another and form a layer having a capillary structure formed from the particles of the powder and lying inside and against the casing element;
- wherein the interior enclosed by the casing element is filled with the powder in its entirety at least across a partial area of the length of the casing element;
- and
- removing any excess powder with loose particles from the casing element.
