When the heat pipe works, the heat pipe exchanges heat with other fluids through the upper pipe box 2 and the coil 3. Other fluids may exchange heat with only a portion of the coil 3, e.g. the portion of the coil 3 in fig. 2 connected to the lower header 1 does not participate in the heat exchange.

Because of volume expansion and steam flowing, the free ends 6 and 7 of the coil 1 can be induced to vibrate, the vibration is transmitted to the surrounding heat exchange fluid by the free ends 6 and 7 of the heat exchange tubes in the vibrating process, and the fluid can also generate disturbance with each other, so that the surrounding heat exchange fluid forms disturbed flow, a boundary layer is damaged, and the purpose of enhancing heat transfer is achieved.
Experiments show that compared with the heat pipe which is always in a standing state in the prior art, the heat exchange efficiency is improved by 25-35%.
Preferably, the lower header 1, the upper header 2, and the coil 3 are all of a circular tube structure.
Preferably, the return pipe 5 connects both side ends of the lower header 1 and the upper header 2. Therefore, the flow path of the fluid in the upper tube box 2 is ensured to be long, the heat exchange time can be further prolonged, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the heat exchanger tube 4 is not a complete circle but a mouth is left, thereby forming a free end of the heat exchanger tube. The angle of the arc of the mouth part is 70-120 degrees, namely the sum of included angles b and c in figure 3 is 70-120 degrees.

Through the arrangement, the heat transfer can be further enhanced, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved by 8-15%.
Preferably, the distance between the adjacent heat exchange tubes 4 is greater as it becomes farther from the center of the upper header 2. The distance from the center of the upper tube box 2 is L, the distance between adjacent heat exchange tubes is M, and M is S (L), and the M is a function of L, so that the following requirements are met: s '(L) >0, where S' (L) is the first derivative of S (L).
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the distance between the heat exchange tubes BC is greater than the distance between AB and the distance between the heat exchange tubes CD is greater than the distance between BC in the radial direction with the center of the upper header 2 as the center.
Preferably, the distance between the adjacent heat exchange tubes 4 is continuously increased to a larger and larger extent. The following requirements are met: s "(L) >0, where S" (L) is the second derivative of S (L).
Through the preferred setting, can further improve heat exchange efficiency, increase the homogeneity of the heat distribution of heat transfer. Experiments show that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved by 8-12% by the arrangement.
Preferably, the heat exchange tubes 4 have a larger diameter as they are farther from the center of the upper header 2.
Preferably, the diameter of the heat exchange tube 4 is continuously increased to a larger and larger extent.
Through the preferable arrangement, the heat exchange efficiency can be further improved, and the uniformity of heat exchange is increased. Experiments show that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved by about 10% by the arrangement.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the coil pipes 4 is plural, and the plural coil pipes 4 are in a parallel structure.
It was found in experiments that the distance relationship between the lower channel case 1, the upper channel case 2 and the heat exchange tubes 4 may have an influence on the heat exchange efficiency and uniformity. If the distance between the heat exchange tubes 4 is too big, then heat exchange efficiency is too poor, and the distance between the heat exchange tubes 4 is too little, then the heat exchange tubes 4 distribute too closely, also can influence heat exchange efficiency, and the pipe diameter size of pipe case and heat exchange tube influences the volume of the liquid or the steam that hold, then can exert an influence to the vibration of free end 6, 7 to influence the heat transfer. Therefore, the diameters of the lower tube box 1 and the upper tube box 2 have a certain relationship with the distance between the heat exchange tubes 4.
