Heat dissipation system

Abstract

A heat dissipation system includes a heat sink, a heat pipe, and a cooling assembly. The heat sink includes a substrate and a number of fins extending therefrom. The heat sink has a receiving portion. The heat pipe includes a shell, a wick, and a working fluid contained in the shell. The heat pipe has an evaporation section and a condensation section. The evaporation section is inserted into the receiving portion of the substrate while the condensation section is equipped with the cooling assembly. A hydrophilic layer is formed on the wick so that the capillarity of the wick is enhanced. The heat dissipation system has two mechanisms by which to dissipate heat from a heat-generating component, i.e., via the heat sink and the heat pipe. Therefore, an efficiency of heat dissipation of the heat dissipation system is improved.
