Abstract
A heat exchanger according to the present invention comprises: a plate-shaped body having an interior space in which a working fluid is vaporized or condensed and flows; and a wick located within the body, the wick comprising a plurality of needle-shaped particles between which the working fluid flows. By forming a wick comprising needle-shaped particles, the heat exchanger according to the embodiments of the present invention can improve the porosity of the wick compared to conventional groove or mesh-shaped or sintered wicks. Accordingly, the working fluid is capable of flowing inside the wick more smoothly than in the conventional wicks, thereby improving a heat exchange rate or heat exchange performance.
