The present study proposes a new structure for a heat spreader which could embody a thin thickness, any shapes and high heat flux per unit area. It is on the structure for the formation of vapor passages and the support of the case of the heat spreader. A screen mesh is used as the one. To verify the validity of the one, the heat spreader of 1.4mm and 1.6mm thickness was made with 14 mesh and 100 mesh number. In this paper, The performance test of heat spreader conducted in order to compare with the heat transfer performance of conventional heat pipe. As the results, The heat spreader has excellent cooling and heat transfer performance.

High-temperature cylindrical sodium/stainless-steel heat pipes were manufactured and tested for transient as well as steady states. Total length of the heat pipe was 1 m and the diameter was 25.4 mm. Screen meshes of 3 different sizes were used to estimate the effect of mesh size on the thermal performance of the heat pipe. The minimum thermal resistance achieved was as low as 0.02$^{\circ}C$/W for the maximum thormal load of 2 ㎾. The average heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator was about 2,000 ㎾/$m^2$K and those in the condenser region were up to 5 times higher.
