Abstract
A capillary tube heat pipe and the like are provided, in which is applicable for a case that a heat receiving portion is separated apart from a heat radiating portion, and a sufficient space for connecting the both portions does not exist. This capillary tube heat pipe (1) is provided with two turn portions (a heat receiving portion and a heat radiating portion) (3-1) and (3-2) at the both ends thereof and a straight portion (a heat transfer portion) (5) extending between the both turn portions (3), and has a closed loop structure in which both terminals of a single pipe are communicated. Since the heat transfer portion is made from two straight pipes (7) and (9), the straight portion (5) can be small in size.
Claims7
A capillary tube heat pipe providing with a heat receiving portion, a heat radiating portion and a heat transfer portion connecting said heat receiving portion and said heat radiating portion, and the heat pipe comprising a capillary tube which forms a closed loop as the whole;
- wherein said heat transfer portion is constructed from only one pair of going and returning passages.
A temperature controlling apparatus comprising a cold heat or a hot heat generating device (a heat generating device) such as a Peltier unit and a capillary tube heat pipe to be arranged between said heat generating device and an object to be cooled or an object to be heated,
- wherein said capillary tube heat pipe is provided with a heat receiving portion which is connected to said heat generating device, a heat radiating portion which is connected to said object to be cooled or said object to be heated, and a heat transfer portion connecting said heat receiving portion and said heat radiating portion, and the heat pipe comprising a capillary tube which forms a closed loop as the whole and,
- said heat transfer portion is constructed from only one pair of going and returning passages.
