  • Patent number: 8100170
    Abstract: An evaporator suitable for absorbing heat from a heat source is provided. The evaporator includes a top board, a bottom board, a side frame, and at least one porous member. The side frame connects the top board and the bottom board. The porous member is disposed between the top board and the bottom board and within the side frame. The part of the top board covering the porous member is a heat conducting portion near the heat source. The evaporator has at least one first channel, at least one second channel, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet. The first channel is adjacent to the bottom board and the porous member for containing a working fluid. The second channel is adjacent to the top board and the porous member for containing the working fluid. The fluid inlet communicates with the first channel. The fluid outlet communicates with the second channel.

  • Patent number: 7461688
    Abstract: The heat transfer device at least comprises: an evaporator, a heat conductor and a connecting pipe. The evaporator comprises: a first hollow tube; a porous core mortised inside the first hollow tube; and a second hollow tube mortised on the first hollow tube. The heat conductor 220 covers the evaporator. The heat conductor is on the heating device. The connecting pipe is connected to first and second hollow tubes. The connecting pipe is used for containing a working fluid. The condenser is on the connecting pipe. The porous core, the first and second hollow tube, and the heat conductor are mortised together so as to simplify the manufacturing process, and reduce the cost. Further, the evaporator is tightly covered and fixed by the heat conductor so that the heat generated by the heating device can be uniformly conducted to the evaporator to enhance the heat conductivity.

  • Patent number: 7455430
    Abstract: A lighting device with a multiple cooling layer structure has at least one mounting heat conductive block, at least one light assembly and multiple heatsinks. The mounting heat conductive block has a front end, a rear end, a side and at least one shoulder. Each shoulder is formed at the side of the mounting bracket. The light assembly is mounted on the front end of the mounting bracket. Each heatsinks is mounted on one of the shoulders and the rear end of the mounting bracket. When the lighting device generates heat, the heat is able to drive away from the mounting bracket to the heatsinks. The lighting device is able to cool down. The mounting heat conductive block and the heat sinks are easy to manufacture and transfer heat more effectively.
