Publication number: 20060201655Abstract: A mesh-type heat pipe (10) includes a casing (12), a tube (14) located inside the casing and a screen mesh wick (16) located between the casing and the tube. The tube defines therein a plurality of through holes (142) and at least one cutout (144). The wick is held against the casing by the tube. Under the support of the tube, the wick as a whole engages closely an inner surface of the casing, thereby establishing an effective heat transfer path between the casing and a working fluid that is saturated in the wick. Meanwhile, with the cutout in the tube presented, the heat pipe incorporating such tube is easily to be bent or flattened so as to enable the heat pipe to be applicable in electronic devices with a limited mounting space for a cooling device, such as notebook computers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2005Publication date: September 14, 2006Inventors: Chu-Wan Hong, Chang-Ting Lo, Jung-Yuan Wu, Ching-Tai Cheng

Publication number: 20060198753Abstract: A method is disclosed to produce a wick structure for a heat pipe. The wick structure is a sintered powder wick and is produced by sintering process. A group of powders is firstly provided. The group of powders is then classified into many sub-groups in terms of powder size. At least one sub-group of the powders is selected to form the wick structure via the sintering process. Thus, the powders used to construct the wick structure are confined to powders having a relatively narrower range of powder size in relative to the group of powders as originally provided. This has greatly reduced the complexity involved in the sintering process, and as a result, the required sintering temperature and the required time for the sintering process are easier to be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Chu-Wan Hong, Chang-Ting Lo, Ching-Tai Cheng, Jung-Yuan Wu

Publication number: 20060197245Abstract: A method is disclosed to produce a heat pipe with a sintered powder wick formed inside the heat pipe. The method employs tape-casting technology to firstly produce thin sheets of powder and then these sheets are sintered to form the wick. In the tape casting procedure, a slurry of the powders necessary to construct said wick is cast onto a moving surface to form a slurry layer and then the slurry layer is dried to form a green tape. The green tape is rolled onto a mandrel and then is inserted into a hollow casing and sintered to cause the powders in the green tape to diffusion-bond together. Thus, the sintered powder wick is constructed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Ching-Tai Cheng, Jung-Yuan Wu, Chu-Wan Hong, Chang-Ting Lo

Publication number: 20060196641Abstract: A screen mesh wick (14) and a method of making the same are disclosed. The wick is made separately and is adaptive for inserting into a heat pipe as a wick structure. The wick includes a plurality of elongated wires (141, 142) woven together and a plurality of protruding portions (145) formed on the wires. The protruding portions may be small metal powders attached to outer surfaces of the wires. The method includes the steps of weaving a plurality of wires to form a mesh (14?) firstly and then forming a plurality of protruding portions on the mesh, for example, by spreading the metal powders onto the mesh while the mesh is subject to heating. With these protruding portions formed on the wires, the effective pore size defined between the wires is reduced and therefore the wick is capable of providing a larger capillary pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Chu-Wan Hong, Ching-Tai Cheng, Jung-Yuan Wu, Chang-Ting Lo
