Title:
HEAT PIPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/115839
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a sheet-shaped heat pipe which makes it possible to reduce a pressure loss due to a vapor flow and a pressure loss due to an operating fluid flow to improve a maximum heat transport amount and reduce heat resistance by making the cross-sectional areas of a vapor flow path and a fluid flow path that have been limited by the distance in the height direction of a container larger than those of conventional ones. A heat pipe (10) is provided with: a container (11) in which a hollow portion is formed; a wick structure (13a) which is stored and disposed in the container (11) and generates capillary force; and an operating fluid sealed in the hollow portion in the container (11). The hollow portion of the container (11) is configured from a wick-occupied portion (13) occupied by the wick structure (13a) stored and disposed in the container (11), and a space portion (12) not occupied by the wick structure (13a). In the heat pipe (10), a protruding portion (14) is provided such that the height of the space portion (12) serving as a vapor flow path is higher than the height of the wick-occupied portion (13) serving as a fluid flow path.
