Though these new forms of heat pipes are able to transfer significant heat flows and can increase heat transport length, they remain very sensitive to spatial orientation relative to gravity. To extend the functional possibilities of two-phase systems to applications involving otherwise inoperable slopes in gravity, the advantages provided by the spatial separation of the transportation line and the usage of non-capillary arteries are combined in a loop scheme.
These new heat pipe forms can transfer substantial heat flows, extending heat transport length, but remain highly sensitive to spatial orientation relative to gravity. To broaden the functional potential of two-phase systems for applications involving slopes that are otherwise inaccessible due to gravity, the advantages provided by separating the transportation line and using non-capillary arteries are combined in a loop scheme.
