Further, the wick structure is of a single type, so it will make the internal heated vapor flows too fast when its density is large. This will cause dryout easily. When the density of the wick structure is small, the heated vapor flows too slowly. This will decrease the efficiency of heat transfer.

The tube 10 of the shown embodiment is of a strip shape and composed of an upper sheet 11, a lower sheet 12 and two arcked sheets 13 connecting therebetween. These sheets 11, 12, 13 constitute an annular wall 10 a. Two ends of the tube 10 are sealed by welding. A chamber 14 is formed within the sheets 11, 12, 13. The overall height of the upper sheet 11, the lower sheet 12 and the chamber 14 is less than 2 mm.
  • The first wick structure 20 is a plurality of grooves 201 formed on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The first wick structure 20 continuously covers the front half and the rear half of the tube 10 along an axis of the tube 10. The second wick structure 30 is attached on the left area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the left arcked sheet 13. Also, the second wick structure 30 continuously covers the front half and the rear half of the tube 10 along an axis of the tube 10. The second wick structure 30 is sintered metal powder and does not overlap with the first wick structure 20. However, edges of the first and second wick structures 20, 30 may be in contact with each other as shown in the figures or may be out of contact with each other.
  • The working fluid 40 may be pure water or alcohol filled in the chamber 14. At a room temperature, the working fluid 40 is liquid and contained in the wick structures 20, 30. The working fluid 40 will be evaporated to transfer a large amount of heat to an area with lower temperature when it is heated.
  • Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows the second embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 is a plurality of grooves 201 formed on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 a is attached on the left area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the left arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 a is a mesh structure woven by metal wires. The mesh structure does not overlap with the grooves 201 as the first wick structure 20.
  • Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows the third embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 is a plurality of grooves 201 formed on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 b is a bundle of fibers attached on the left area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the left arcked sheet 13. The bundle of fibers does not overlap with the grooves 201 as the first wick structure 20.
  • Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows the fourth embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 a is attached on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The first wick structure 20 a is formed by sintered metal powder with a plurality of grooves 201 a. The second wick structure 30 is the same as the first embodiment.
  • Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows the fifth embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 b is attached on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12, the right arcked sheet 13 and the right portion of the chamber 14. The first wick structure 20 b is formed by sintered metal powder. The second wick structure 30 a is the same as the second embodiment, thereby volume of the liquid contained in the wick structures 20 b, 30 a can be increased.
  • Please refer to FIG. 7, which shows the sixth embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 c is attached on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The first wick structure 20 c is a mesh structure. The second wick structure 30 c is attached on the left area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the left arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 c is a mesh structure, too. A pair of third wick structures 50 are separately disposed on the middle portions of the upper and lower sheets 11, 12. The pair of third wick structures 50 are made of sintered metal powder and in contact with each other. Other arrangements and shapes are available. The two third wick structures 50 may be out of contact with each other (not shown). The third wick structures 50 can increase volume of the liquid contained therein to prevent from dryouting.
  • Please refer to FIG. 8, which shows the seventh embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the first wick structure 20 is a plurality of grooves 201 formed on the right area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the right arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 d is attached on the left area of the upper sheet 11 and the lower sheet 12 and the left arcked sheet 13. The second wick structure 30 d is sintered metal powder. Additionally, the middle portion of the upper sheet 11 is formed with a smooth surface 60 for increasing vapor flow space and reducing vapor flow resistance.
  • It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the above embodiments have been described by way of example only and not in any limitative sense, and that various alterations and modifications are possible without departure from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
