The present technology provides a non-cylindrical structure for transporting media, including gases, liquids, solids, or energy comprising a layer of thermal pyrolytic graphite (TPG) surrounded by an outer layer and an inner layer comprising a metal, a ceramic, a glass, or a plastic. In particular, the present technology relates to a non-cylindrical tube or a pipe having an inner layer, an outer layer, and a layer of TPG between the inner layer and the outer layer wherein the TPG layer is configured to manage the direction of heat conduction.

Thermal pyrolytic graphite tube device for directional thermal management

A light emitting diode assembly comprising such thermal management assembly is shown and described herein. The light emitting diode assembly may comprise a light emitting diode in thermal contact with a heat spreader. The heat spreader may comprise a core and/or fins. The core and/or fins comprise a thermal pyrolytic graphite material. The thermal management assembly comprising the core and/or fins can dissipate heat from the light emitting diode.
