Heat Pipe Work Theory
While the heat source contact the evaporation zone(hot end), the heat was transferred to pipe wall, wick, and liquid. Liquid become vapor after heated. As the gas pressure is different in both ends, the evaporation has bigger pressure, which enforce the vapor flows from evaporation end to condensation end. Vapor becomes liquid at the condensation zone, heat was taken out to the outside heat sink by the pipe wall. After that, the liquid flow back to evaporation zone by wick ‘s capillary force and pipe wall. This is a cycle work in the heat pipe. Once the wick’s capillary force bigger than the pressure difference, the liquid will always flow in a cycle. Heat pipe will always take heat from end to end and works well.
