Loop
Heat Pipe: Loop heat pipes offer effective long
distance cooling solutions without being effected by
gravity. Unlike traditional heat pipes, vapors and
liquids are transported one way only, preventing
backward heat leak from happening. Similar to
traditional heat pipes, the heat source evaporates
the liquid of the loop heat pipe near the heat
source into vapor, and the vapor is carried via the
pipe to where the cooling mechanism is located. When
cooled, the vapor condenses into liquid and is
carried on in the same direction to the area where
the heat source evaporates the liquid again. The
cycle goes on in a loop method. |
