Abstract
A heat pipe includes a casing (100) having an inner surface. A capillary wick (200) is attached to the inner surface of casing. The casing includes an evaporating section (400) for receiving heat, a condensing section (600) for releasing the heat and an adiabatic section (500) for transferring the heat from the evaporating section to the condensing section. The evaporating and condensing sections are made of metal material and the adiabatic section is made of nonmetallic material.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a heat pipe as heat transfer/dissipating device, and more particularly to a heat pipe having an adiabatic section made of nonmetallic material.
- It is well known that a heat pipe is generally a vacuum-sealed pipe. A porous wick is provided on an inner face of the pipe, and the pipe is filled with at least a phase changeable working media employed to carry heat. Generally, according to positions from which heat is input or output, the heat pipe has three sections, an evaporating section, a condensing section and an adiabatic section between the evaporating section and the condensing section.
- In use, the heat pipe transfers heat from one place to another place mainly by virtue of phase change of the working media taking place therein. Generally, the working media is liquid such as alcohol, water and the like. When the working media in the evaporating section of the heat pipe is heated up, it evaporates, and a pressure difference is thus produced between the evaporating section and the condensing section in the heat pipe. As a result vapor with high enthalpy flows to the condensing section and condenses there. Then the condensed liquid reflows to the evaporating section along the wick structure. This evaporating/condensing cycle continues in the heat pipe; consequently, heat can be continuously transferred from the evaporating section to the condensing section. Due to the continual phase change of the working media, the evaporating section is kept at or near the same temperature as the condensing section of the heat pipe.
- In many cases, the heat pipe is required to be bent into a curved one or pressed into a flattened one in order to be applicable in electronic devices that have very limited mounting space, for example, in some portable electronic devices such as notebook computers. However, during said process, the wick in the heat pipe is prone to separate from the pipe and accordingly is damaged, which adversely affects heat transfer capability of the heat pipe.
- Furthermore, the conventional heat pipes are entirely made of highly thermally conductive material such as copper. However, the price of copper dramatically rises in recently years, which leads to a dramatic increase of the cost of the heat pipe accordingly.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a heat pipe which can over the shortcomings of the conventional art.
- The present invention relates to a heat pipe. The heat pipe includes a casing having an inner surface. A capillary wick is attached to the inner surface of the casing. The casing includes an evaporating section for receiving heat, a condensing section for releasing the heat and an adiabatic section for transferring the heat from the evaporating section to the condensing section. The evaporating and condensing sections are made of metal material and the adiabatic section is made of nonmetallic material.
- Other advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Many aspects of the present device can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present device. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinally cross-sectional view of a heat pipe in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a longitudinally cross-sectional view of a heat pipe in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a transversely cross-sectional view of an adiabatic section of a heat pipe in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, perspective view of an expanded portion of an adiabatic section of a heat pipe in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 1 shows a heat pipe in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The heat pipe includes acasing 100, a working fluid (not shown) contained in thecasing 100 and acapillary wick 200 arranged in an inner surface of thecasing 100. Avapor channel 300 is defined along an axial direction of the heat pipe and is located at a center of thecasing 100. Thevapor channel 300 is surrounded by an inner surface of thecapillary wick 200 so as to guide vapor to flow therein. In this embodiment, thecasing 100 includes anevaporating section 400 at one end, acondensing section 600 at the other end and anadiabatic section 500 arranged between theevaporating section 400 and thecondensing section 600. Theevaporating section 400 and thecondensing section 600 are made of highly thermally conductive metal material such as copper, aluminum, copper alloys or aluminum alloys. The inner surface of thecasing 100 at evaporating and condensingsections adiabatic section 500 acts as a passage of the condensed liquid, being made of nonmetallic material such as plastic, resin, rubber, fiber or ceramic. The nonmetallic material of theadiabatic section 500 can be formed into a desired shape easily. The nonmetallic material of theadiabatic section 500 may be a compound material of macromolecule material and inorganic material. A cross section of theadiabatic section 500 may be round, square or other shape, depending on the shape of the heat pipe. - Along a longitudinal direction of the
casing 100, thecapillary wick 200 has a multi-layer structure, which includes in sequence afirst layer 240, asecond layer 250 and athird layer 260. In this embodiment, the first, second andthird layers condensing sections casing 100, respectively. The first andthird layers second layer 250 corresponding to theadiabatic section 500 has a groove-type wick. Alternatively, the first andthird layers second layer 250 may be the fine-mesh wick, the bundles of fiber wick, the honeycombed wick, a fin-type wick (shown inFIG. 3 ), a pole-type wick (shown inFIG. 4 ), or a combination thereof. Referring toFIG. 3 , the fin-type wick consists of a plurality offins 152 extending from the inner surface of theadiabatic section 500. Referring toFIG. 4 , the pole-type wick consists of a plurality of parallel micro-poles 154 extending from the inner surface of theadiabatic section 500. - Thus a cost and weight of the heat pipe is reduced due to the use of the nonmetallic material of the
adiabatic section 500. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a heat pipe according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The heat pipe of the second embodiment is similar to that of the previous first embodiment. However, anadiabatic section 500 a replaces theadiabatic section 500 of the previous first embodiment. Theadiabatic section 500 a is bent to form a U-shaped configuration. Theadiabatic section 500 a is made of macromolecule material having good pliability. Theadiabatic section 500 a and thecapillary wick 250 a are integrally molded as a single piece. During the bending process, thecapillary wick 250 a does not separate from the inner surface of theadiabatic section 500 a and, accordingly, is not damaged. - It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
