Abstract
A heat pipe has a large area vapor tube for radiant heat loss and has connected thereto a subcooled liquid return tube for a return of the condensed liquid to the evaporator portion of the vapor tube. Wicking material plugs return the liquid and provide equilibrium along the length of the system. The separate return of the liquid through liquid tube permits a long heat pipe which may have several thermal connections.
