Abstract: This invention relates generally to the field of heat pipes, and is specifically concerned with an internal wicking structure to promote the capillary flow of a system liquid from the condensor section to the evaporator section, such that the evaporator section is uniformly saturated. This phenomena is achieved through the use of multiple diverse wicking patterns, formed integrally in the interior walls of the heat pipe.

Abstract: This invention relates in general to an industrial heat exchanger package unit for transferring heat energy between cool intake air flowing into an industrial process, and hot exhaust air flowing out of an industrial process. Each package units specifically includes, integral finned heat pipe heat exchangers, face and bypass damper assemblies, tilted base frames, bypass ducts, supply inlet filter assemblies, and supply inlet louver assemblies which are arranged in such a manner as to provide a percentage of total volume control over the amount of supply or exhaust air introduced into the heat exchange chambers.
