Abstract
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe comprises a ribbon-like plate having tunnels arranged parallel to each other and defined by partitions. The ribbon-like plate has both ends closed such that the tunnels are filled with melt metal up to a predetermined depth from each end of the ribbon-like plate upon welding or soldering. The partitions are alternately eliminated by a predetermined length in the vicinity of the ends of the ribbon-like plate so as to ensure communication of the tunnels with each other to form a serpentine container having a predetermined turns. The serpentine container is filled with a predetermined amount of working fluid.
Claims26
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe, comprising:
- a plate having a plurality of tunnels arranged parallel to each other and defined by a plurality of partitions;
- means for closing ends of said plate, said ends closing means being disposed up to a predetermined depth of said plurality of tunnels from each end of said plate;
- and
- means for ensuring communication of said plurality of tunnels with each other to form a serpentine container having a predetermined turns, said serpentine container being filled with a predetermined amount of a predetermined working fluid.
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe equipment, comprising:
- a plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes disposed parallel to each other, each comprising a plate having a plurality of tunnels arranged parallel to each other and defined by a plurality of partitions;
- means for closing ends of said plate, said ends closing means being disposed up to a predetermined depth of said plurality of tunnels from each end of said plate;
- and means for ensuring communication of said plurality of tunnels with each other to form a serpentine container having a predetermined turns, said serpentine container being filled with a predetermined amount of a predetermined working fluid;
- and
- means for connecting said plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes to each other.
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe equipment, comprising:
- a flat plate;
- a plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes disposed on said flat plate at predetermined intervals to be parallel to each other, each comprising a plate having a plurality of tunnels arranged parallel to each other and defined by a plurality of partitions;
- means for closing ends of said plate, said ends closing means being disposed up to a predetermined depth of said plurality of tunnels from each end of said plate;
- and means for ensuring communication of said plurality of tunnels with each other to form a serpentine container having a predetermined turns, said serpentine container being filled with a predetermined amount of a predetermined working fluid;
- and
- means for ensuring communication of said serpentine container of one of said plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes with that of an adjacent one thereof, said communication ensuring means enabling formation of a continuous serpentine container having a predetermined turns through said plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes.
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe equipment as claimed 18, wherein said predetermined turns of said continuous serpentine container corresponds to at least 20.
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe equipment as claimed 18, wherein said flat plate comprises means for mounting said plurality of ribbon-like plate heat pipes.
A ribbon-like plate heat pipe equipment, comprising:
- a plurality of plates disposed in series to form a plate assembly, each having a plurality of tunnels arranged parallel to each other and defined by a plurality of partitions;
- means for connecting said plurality of tunnels of one of said plurality of plates and those of an adjacent one thereof;
- means for closing ends of said plate assembly, said ends closing means being disposed up to a predetermined depth of said plurality of tunnels from each end of said plate assembly.
