Heat Pipes PDF Print E-mail

Heat pipes are superconductors with extraordinary heat transfer capacity. The rapid growth of the electronics and the personal computer industry has introduced challenging heat dissipation problems.

 

  • Faster processor speeds
  • Higher power densities
  • Shrinking geometries

 

Heat pipes provide the necessary performance boost for conventional heat sinks. Cofan-USA's extensive use of advanced heat pipe technology ensures maximum performance of our cooling solutions.

 

Heat pipes effectively transport heat with a minimal drop in temperature.

 

Heat is absorbed from the source through vaporization and released at a sink through condensation.

 

The vapor travels from source to sink through the central channel, while the liquid travels from sink to source through the porous wick.

 

Main components:

  • Container
    > High strength, high thermal conductivity
  • Working fluid
    > High latent heat, high thermal conductivity
  • Wick/capillary structure
    > State-of-the-art copper powder sintering for maximum performance
    > Maintains effective capillary action when bent or used against gravity
