Heat Pipes

 

 

Heat pipes are commonly used in many industries, in particular with computers, working to transfer the heat from the CPU away to the heat dissipator, past which the fan blows air. Heat pipes are also used in many industries to move heat from one point to another.

Apricus has specially designed a heat pipe for use with evacuated tubes. The operating temperature range from freezing to more than 20°C / 395°F means that many common heat pipes designs are not viable. Apricus heat pipes are designed to begin working at a low temperature (30°C / 86°F), are able to transfer heat consistently up to high temperatures and can withstand freezing conditions without damage.

 

Below is a diagram which shows the basic operation of the heat pipe.
