  • Patent number: 11864349
    Abstract: A vapor chamber with structure for enhancing two-phase flow boiling includes a main body formed of a first and a second plate member, which are correspondingly closed to each other to define an airtight chamber between them. The airtight chamber has a condensing side and an evaporating side and has a working fluid filled therein. The evaporating side is formed on its surface with a plurality of projected sections and a plurality of recessed sections and has a wick structure provided thereon. The projected sections extend through and project beyond the wick structure, and the recessed sections are located below the wick structure without being filled by the wick structure to thereby form spaces for receiving the working fluid. The provision of the projected and the recessed sections enables the vapor chamber to provide largely enhanced two-phase flow boiling effect in the airtight chamber.
