A heat pipe is a closed evaporator-condenser system consisting of a sealed, hollow tube whose inside walls are lined with a capillary structure or wick. Thermodynamic working fluid, with substantial vapor pressure at the desired operating temperature, saturates the pores of the wick in a state of equilibrium between liquid and vapor. When heat is applied to the heat pipe, the liquid in the wick heats and evaporates. As the evaporating fluid fills the heat pipe hollow center, it diffuses throughout its length. Condensation of the vapor occurs wherever the temperature is even slightly below that of the evaporation area. As it condenses, the vapor gives up the heat it acquired during evaporation. This effective high thermal conductance helps maintain near constant temperatures along the entire length of the pipe. Available in Copper Beryllium or Aluminum with Copper Beryllium heat plate.  The new Aluminum version of the heat sink has ports cut into the external portion to allow water to be pumped through when on the surface, to prevent overheating of internal electronics.  CONTACT PREVCO FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PRICING.
