  • Multi-layer wick in loop heat pipe
    Patent number: 8720530
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a multi-layer wick for a loop heat pipe is provided. The multi-layer wick includes a primary wick, the primary wick comprising: a first layer; and a second layer, wherein the first layer surrounds the second layer; and a secondary wick, wherein the second layer of the primary wick surrounds the secondary wick. In another aspect of the present invention, a method of fabricating a multi-layer wick is provided. The method includes machining the outer diameter of an inner layer larger than the inner diameter of an outer layer; heating the outer layer to enlarge the inner diameter; inserting the inner layer into the outer layer; and cooling the inner layer and the outer layer.
