Heat Pipe Overview: Wakefield-Vette

[@gianniss.3739]

this is the best explanation of heat pipes i've found so far.

[@pcxxy]

wondered about heat pipe effectiveness based on direction for the longest time and finally found out why, thanks!

So... if I happen to have an epa 608 type 1 cert.. could I use an HFC instead of water?

[@tuenguyenduy5964]

I would like to buy with the single one where can i buy ? And how do i check its heat transfer power ?

Hello Tue Nguyen Duy, The link below has just over 800 heat pipes available for purchase on DigiKey. The column labeled “Power - Cooling” provides the heat transfer power for the various heat pipes. www.digikey.com/short/j0qncb7p Additionally we have an extensive Representative/Distribution network that can help by accessing the link below wakefieldthermal.com/rep-distributor-locator/

Why do they say'Bent and or flattened' and not just bent or flatened?

[@zedg7473]

Because the pipes can be bent or flattened, or flattened with bends?

[@chandlersun3877]

If you bent it a little bit does it reduce the cooling effect?

[@P8qzxnxfP85xZ2H3wDRV]

Yes, every bend reduces the efficiency of the heatpipe. As a rough estimate, for every 45° bend, the efficiency of the heatpipe drops by 2.5%.

what about the fin?
