Thin heat pipe with sintered powdered wick structure

A heat pipe, comprising:

• a heat pipe container, being sealed, having a condenser section, an evaporator section, a central axis, and a longitudinal center plane, the evaporator section having an evaporator lower inner wall having an evaporator main area portion, an evaporator first contact area portion, an evaporator second contact area portion, and an evaporator upper inner wall, the evaporator upper inner wall connected to the evaporator lower inner wall and define a first length, and the condenser section having a condenser lower inner wall and a condenser upper inner wall, the condenser lower inner wall having a condenser main area portion, a condenser first contact area portion, a condenser second contact area portion, and a condenser upper inner wall, the condenser upper inner wall connected to the condenser lower inner wall and define a second length, one end of the evaporator section is in contact with one end of the condenser section and both are longitudinal along a length of the heat pipe container, the evaporator main area portion extends longitudinal along the first length between the evaporator first contact area portion on one side of the evaporator main area portion and the evaporator second contact area portion on an opposite side of the evaporator main area portion, the evaporator upper inner wall extends longitudinal along the first length and opposite the lower inner wall, the condenser main area portion extends longitudinal along the second length between the condenser first contact area portion on one side of the condenser main area portion and the condenser second contact area portion on an opposite side of the condenser main area portion, the condenser upper inner wall extends longitudinal along the second length and opposite the condenser lower inner wall, a center of the longitudinal center plane is defined by the central axis, the longitudinal center plane intersecting walls of the heat pipe container and defining contact points between the evaporator upper inner wall and the evaporator lower inner wall, and defining contact points between the condenser upper inner wall and the condenser lower inner wall, the evaporator upper inner wall is in contact with the evaporator lower inner wall at the evaporator first contact area portion and the evaporator second contact area portion, respectively, the condenser upper inner wall is in contact with the condenser lower inner wall at the condenser first contact area portion and the condenser second contact area portion, respectively,
• an evaporator wick structure formed on the evaporator main area portion, the evaporator wick structure having at least one first wick structure portion and at least one second wick structure portion, the at least one first wick structure portion is in contact with the at least a second wick structure portion and both are disposed longitudinal along the first length, the at least one first wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structure having a maximum thickness that is greater than a maximum thickness of the at least one second wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structure,
• a working fluid sealed within the lower inner wall and the upper inner wall and the condenser lower inner wall and the condenser upper inner wall,
• wherein the evaporator wick structure is not formed on the first contact area portion and the evaporator wick structure is not formed on the second contact area portion,
• wherein the at least one first wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structure contacts the upper inner wall and the at least one second wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structure does not contact the upper inner wall,
• wherein a capillary force of the at least one first wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structure is greater than a capillary force of the at least one second wick structure portion of the evaporator wick structur,
• wherein a mesh count of both the at least one first wick structure portion and the at least one second wick structure portion is between 100 and 120, inclusive.
