Pulsating heat pipe with flexible artery mesh

Abstract

A pulsating heat pipe (10) includes an elongate capillary tube (11), a working fluid (15) disposed within the elongate tube and an artery mesh (13) disposed in the elongate tube. The capillary tube includes a plurality of heat receiving portions (112) located on a first predetermined part of the elongate tube, and a plurality of heat radiating portions (114) located on a second predetermined part of the elongate tube. The heat receiving and heat radiating portions are alternatively disposed on the elongate tube. The working fluid is propelled to flow between the heat receiving and heat radiating portions via a first channel (132) defined in the artery mesh and a second channel (133) defined between the artery mesh and the elongate tube.
