The Basics of Heat Pipes – Their History, Principle, and Varieties explained
What are heat pipes, how do they work, and what varieties are available?
Heat pipes are characterized by their ability to transfer large amounts of heat quickly even between a relatively small temperature difference, not requiring a power source, and having a long operational life. Additionally, since they can transfer heat away from heat sources that are located where it is difficult to dissipate, their use is growing in the heat management strategies of electronic devices which are continually decreasing in size and increasing in density.
