  • Publication number: 20040011512
    Abstract: A plate type thin heat pipe comprises: a group of wire members comprising a plurality of first metal wire members placed in a same plane in parallel with a prescribed distance spaced out, and a plurality of second metal wire members placed in a same plane in parallel with a prescribed distance spaced out and placed so as to cross the plurality of first metal wire members; a container having a hollow portion which is reduced in inner pressure and hermetically sealed comprising an upper plate member and a lower plate member placed face to face, each of which is made of thin copper plate, formed in such a manner that each of the upper plate member and the lower plate member contacts the group of wire members, and the group of wire members are sandwiched by the upper and lower plate members, and water as a working fluid received in the container.
