Abstract
A heat pipe element comprising an outer pipe member and an inner tubular member incorporated in the inner circumference of the outer pipe member with a capillary space defined between the two members, which inner tubular member is formed by winding in a spiral shape from a web of sheet material with a narrow continuous space between the adjacent surfaces of thus-shaped inner member so that a capillary action may occur in the narrow space. A multiplicity of fine recesses extending longitudinally of the inner and/or outer members may be formed in the inner and/or outer circumference of the inner member and/or in the inner circumference of the outer member.
