Description

Stackable heat pipe assembly and manufacturing method thereof

The invention relates to a heat transfer mechanism, in particular to a stackable heat pipe assembly and a manufacturing method thereof.

The heat pipe is a passive two-phase heat transfer mechanism used to efficiently transfer heat from one place to another through the evaporation-condensation process. The heat pipe is quiet and durable, with no other energy input other than the heat or movement required for operation. Heat pipes are used in cooling and heat transfer systems in mobile phones, computers, airplanes, spacecraft, satellites and environmental protection systems. The combination of heat pipes and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is used in waste heat recovery and power generation systems. The implementation of heat pipes and thermoelectric generators is also applied to geothermal, extracting heat from a ground source to provide geothermal energy.

The thermoelectric power generation system uses a heat pipe to obtain heat from it and use a thermoelectric module to output electricity. The thermoelectric module is composed of many n-type (negatively charged) and p-type (positively charged) semiconductor materials, which are electrically connected in series to increase the operating voltage, and thermally connected in parallel to increase thermal conductivity. When the heat pipe side of the thermoelectric power generation system is heated (heat moves into it) and the other side is cooled by air, water, or other suitable medium (for example another heat pipe from which heat moves), a voltage is generated. For thermoelectric power generation systems, DC power is generated by inverters to generate AC power. Because there is no movement and no chemical reaction is required for operation, the thermoelectric module is also quiet and durable.

Heat pipes are used in many industries, but their implementation can be extremely challenging; for example, when Heat pipes and accompanying systems must yield to mechanically challenging operating conditions or in natural environments with medium to high temperatures. In addition, when the heat pipe is used in a medium-high temperature environment, the shape of the heat pipe must conform to the environment and not impair its function. In addition to final wear and corrosion, the distance from the initial heat source to the radiator or thermoelectric power generation system may be calculated in meters. Generally, the longer the distance required for the heat pipe to travel, the higher the degree of design specialization, and the higher the initial, maintenance and replacement costs.

In order to solve the above problems, a stackable heat pipe assembly and a manufacturing method thereof are needed.

The first conductive substrate 21 is made of copper or its alloy. The first conductive substrate 21 is attached to a heat source terminal 25 (where the heat enters, the temperature is higher than that of the thermoelectric power generation device 2). The heat source terminal 25 can be implemented as described above. In the example, the stackable heat pipe assemblies 100 and 300 or the stackable multi-heat pipe assemblies 500 and 700 are stacked on each other, and preferably, a plurality of copper sheets are combined with the outer edge for heat gathering effect.

The second conductive substrate 22a is made of copper or its alloy. The second conductive substrate 22a is connected to a heat dissipation end 26a (where the heat leaves, the temperature is lower than that of the thermoelectric power generation device 2). In this embodiment, the heat dissipation end 26a The stackable heat pipe assemblies 100, 300 or the stackable multi-heat pipe assemblies 500, 700 are stacked on each other, and the outer edge is combined with a plurality of copper sheets for heat dissipation, so that the same is made of copper or its alloys. A forced temperature difference is formed between the manufactured first conductive substrate 21 and the second conductive substrate 22a. Therefore, the P-type semiconductor element 23 guides the positive electrons from the first conductive substrate 21 to the second conductive substrate 22, and the N-type semiconductor element 24 is the opposite of the P-type semiconductor element 23, which transfers negative electrons from the first conductive substrate. The substrate 21 is guided to the second conductive substrate 22, and the P-type semiconductor element 23 and the N-type semiconductor element 24 are respectively connected to a power storage element 31 (usually a capacitor or a battery) by conductive wires, and then integrated into a power generation Device 3 (usually a green power plant).
