Abstract

An experimental study was performed for understanding the limiting power and heat transfer characteristics of an MHP having the diameter of 3 or 4 mm which could be applied to cooling of miniature electronic equipment such as the notebook PC CPU etc. The experimental parameters which are inclination, structure of the wick, the length of the condenser and the total heat pipe were considered. The MHP with a woven-wired wick has the advantages of the improvement in capillary limit, the effective attachment tightly toward wall and the convenience in construction of wick. Cooling performance of the present MHP was compared with that of MHP with grooved, fine fiber and sintered type wick which were applied by existing enterprises. With respect to the inclination of$ -5^{\circ}$ , an MHP having the diameter of 3 or 4 mm shows the limiting power of 6~14 W. Therefore, it is expected that the MHP of the present study has sufficient applicability of cooling of notebook PC of which the amount of heat generated is about 12 W.
