Abstract
Embodiments relate to a thermal management apparatus including an evaporator plate (EP) configured to receive heat from a heat source, a condenser plate (CP) including at least one reservoir, and a wick plate (WP) positioned between the EP and CP. The WP includes a plurality of wick cells and a return passage. The wick cells include a first wick cell and a second wick cell separate from one another and nested in the WP. The first and second wick cells respectively include first and second wick materials constructed to permit capillary transport of fluid from the CP reservoir to the evaporator plate. The return passage is separate from the first and second wick cells and fluidly communicates the evaporator plate with the CP reservoir. The EP, CP, and WP establish a two-phase multi-loop transport structure including at least the plurality of wick cells, the return passage, and the CP reservoir.
