Abstract

A heat pipe includes a metal casing () filled with a working fluid therein, a capillary wick () provided inside of the metal casing and a tube () contacting with a surface of the capillary wick. The metal casing includes an evaporating section (), a condensing section () and an adiabatic section () between the evaporating section and the condensing section. A vapor passage () is formed inside of the casing and a liquid channel () is defined by the capillary wick. The working fluid in vapor state flows from the evaporating section towards the condensing section along the vapor passage and the working fluid in liquid state returns to the evaporating section from the condensing section along the liquid channel. The tube separates the vapor from the liquid at a place where the tube is located.
