  • Publication number: 20180080718
    Abstract: The heat pipe comprises a shell and an inner zeolite coated structure. The shell has an inner surface. The inner surface surrounds an enclosed chamber. The chamber is partially filled with a working fluid in a vacuum. The working fluid may be changed into a liquid phase or a gas phase by following temperature change. The coating material comprises a zeolite, a binder and an additive. The material is sintered on the inner surface of the heat pipe. Consequently, the zeolite coating is formed between the inner surface and the enclosed chamber. Thus, the present invention uses a porous material of zeolite with pore size smaller than grooves and meshes to have excellent evaporation heat transfer and capillary force. The zeolite coating of the present invention does not fail without air isolation. The present invention is inner manufactured under atmospheric condition so has no size limitation.
