- 1. Field of Invention
- This invention relates to a heat pipe and, in particular, to a heat pipe wherein the working fluid is driven by the vapor pressure difference.
- 2. Related Art
- A conventional heat pipe is mainly composed of a sealed metal pipe, a capillary structure inside the metal pipe and a heat-transfer fluid filled in the metal pipe, and besides, a proper vacuum degree is kept inside the metal pipe to lower down the trigger-temperature-difference of the heat pipe. In the heat pipe, the evaporator of the heat pipe is disposed at the heat source so that the heat generated by the heat source can evaporate the fluid (liquid phase) in the pipe into the vapor (vapor phase). The generated vapor is driven by the vapor pressure difference to flow to the condenser of the heat pipe and then condenses back into the liquid phase after releasing the latent heat, and lastly is driven by the capillarity to go back to the evaporator through the capillary structure. Thereby, the heat pipe can transfer the heat rapidly.
- Due to its simple structure, high transfer performance and low thermal resistance, the heat pipe has been applied to the electronic field or other heat-dissipation fields for a long time. However, because the electronic product is continuously enhanced in portability, lightness and thinness, 4K image, 4G transmission and more adding functions, the generated heat thereof is raised increasingly. Therefore, the conventional heat pipe can't meet the requirement of the high heat and high heat flux anymore. Accordingly, the heat pipe needs to be further enhanced in performance, for example, the manufacturing method of the capillary structure needs to be improved or the multiple capillary structures can be used so as to enhance the capillarity of the capillary structure. However, the above improvements mostly take a longer procedure and process time and the heat pipe structure formed thereby is also too complicated. Therefore, the cost and the efficiency of the heat pipe can't be both taken into account.
- Furthermore, in the operation of a conventional heat pipe, the vapor and the working fluid have opposite flowing directions and they are also not insulated from each other effectively, so that the working fluid needs to overcome the vapor resistance to go back to the evaporator for the next circulation. Accordingly, the capillary condition of the heat pipe needs to be strictly satisfied, that is, the interior capillarity needs to be stronger than the resultant force of the vapor pressure, the backflow resistance of the fluid and the gravity, and then the heat pipe can have the normal circulation.
- Therefore, it is an important subject to provide a heat pipe whereby the heat transfer capability can be enhanced under a simple structure design and the requirement of the high heat and high heat flux of the electronic product can be satisfied.
- In view of the foregoing subject, an objective of the invention is to provide a heat pipe whereby the heat transfer capability can be enhanced under a simple structure design and the requirement of the high heat and high heat flux of the electronic product can be satisfied.
- To achieve the above objective, a heat pipe according to the invention comprises a first pipe and at least a second pipe. The first pipe includes an evaporator, a heat insulator and a condenser which communicate with each other to define a hollow chamber. Two ends of the first pipe along an axial direction of the heat pipe are sealed. The second pipe is disposed in the hollow chamber and includes an accommodating space and a first capillary structure disposed in one end of the accommodating space closer to the evaporator. The hollow chamber of the first pipe is mainly a channel for vapor, the second pipe is mainly a channel for working fluid, the vapor is driven by the vapor pressure difference to move in the first pipe and from the evaporator to the condenser, and the working fluid is driven by the vapor pressure difference to flow in the second pipe and from the condenser to the evaporator.
- In one embodiment, the second pipe is located in a part of the evaporator, a part of the condenser and the whole heat insulator.
- In one embodiment, the second pipe is just located in a part of the condenser and the whole heat insulator.
- In one embodiment, a section of the first pipe along a radial direction of the first pipe is a uniform section.

- In one embodiment, the first pipe further includes a second capillary structure disposed in the hollow chamber closer to the evaporator.
- In one embodiment, the second capillary structure is made by metal sintering powder, fiber, mesh or their any combination.
- In one embodiment, the first capillary structure and the second capillary structure connect to each other or overlap each other.
- In one embodiment, the second capillary structure contacts a part of an inner wall of the first pipe located at the evaporator and/or a part of an outer wall of the second pipe located at the evaporator.
- In one embodiment, the first capillary structure in the second pipe is extended to the outside of the second pipe, and the second capillary structure outside the second pipe entirely or partially covers the first capillary structure extended to the outside of the second pipe.
- In one embodiment, the first capillary structure closer to the evaporator is filled in the second pipe.
- In one embodiment, an inner wall of the first pipe contacts an outer wall of the second pipe.
- In one embodiment, the heat pipe further comprises a plurality of second pipes disposed adjacent to each other in the first pipe.
- As mentioned above, since the heat pipe of this invention includes a first pipe and a second pipe disposed in the first pipe and a first capillary structure is disposed in the portion of the second pipe closer to the evaporator, the vapor can be effectively prevented from flowing back into the second pipe and the working fluid can flow in the second pipe in a single direction.

Furthermore, the heat pipe of this invention includes the structure of the inner and outer pipes so that the efficiency of the liquid-vapor circulation in the heat pipe can be enhanced and the heat transfer capability of the heat pipe can be thus enhanced. Therefore, the heat pipe of this invention is especially suitable for resisting the temporary heat impact and can effectively meet the requirements of high heat and high heat flux.

In the practical application, in addition to thesecond pipe 2, a working fluid (not shown) is also disposed in thepipe 1 and can be any fluid helping the evaporation and heat dissipation, such as inorganic compounds, alcohols, ketones, liquid metal, refrigerant, organic compounds or their any mixture. Moreover, thepipe 1 is not limited here in shape or dimensions, which can be a cylindrical pipe or rectangular pipe and can be determined according to the surrounding environment, space, heat transfer requirement or temperature. -
FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram showing the appearance of the heat pipe inFIG. 1A which has been flattened, andFIG. 1D is a schematic sectional diagram of the heat pipe inFIG. 1C taken along the line B-B. As shown inFIGS. 1A, 1C, 1D , in the formation method of the heat pipe H of this embodiment, thesecond pipe 2 is disposed in thehollow chamber 10 of thefirst pipe 1, the working fluid is injected into the heat pipe H and then the vacuum process is implemented to the heat pipe H, and the post-process such as the flattening process is implemented to thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 at the same time. Otherwise, the working fluid also can be injected after thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 are made vacuum. In other words, the two ends 11, 12 of thefirst pipe 1 of the heat pipe H of this embodiment along the axial direction D1 are both sealed. - As shown in
FIGS. 1A to 1D , thesecond pipe 2 of the heat pipe H includes anaccommodating space 20 and afirst capillary structure 21. Thefirst capillary structure 21 is disposed in only a part of theaccommodating space 20. Herein for example, thefirst capillary structure 21 is disposed on the side of theaccommodating space 20 closer to the evaporator E, and favorably, thefirst capillary structure 21 is disposed in the portion of theaccommodating space 20 closer to theend 11 of the heat pipe H for about a third of the length of thesecond pipe 2. - Furthermore, the
first capillary structure 21 of this embodiment is formed outside thesecond pipe 2. Particularly, thefirst capillary structure 21 is formed outside thesecond pipe 2 firstly, and can be formed by the high sintering and/or injection molding, but this invention is not limited thereto. Besides, before thefirst capillary structure 21 is disposed in thesecond pipe 2, the porosity and permeability thereof are properly controlled by the forming method so as to increase the amount of the working fluid flowing back to the evaporator, and therefore the capillarity of the capillary structure can be enhanced and the maximum heat transfer amount (Qmax) of the heat pipe can be effectively increased. - The conventional capillary structure of the heat pipe is made by disposing a core rod in the metal pipe to fix the metal powder and also formed by the high sintering, but the core rod has a high cost and may be damaged during the process of the sintering or removing the core rod, and even the capillary structure may be also damaged, so that the performance of the heat pipe is reduced. However, the
first capillary structure 21 of this embodiment is formed on the outside firstly, and the form of the capillary structure can be designed according to the performance requirement and won't be limited by the core rod required for the conventional process. Besides, favorably, the quality of thefirst capillary structure 21 can be examined outside thesecond pipe 2 to eliminate the defective products in advance so as to enhance the yield of the heat pipe H. - The formation method of the
first capillary structure 21 of this embodiment is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. In practice, thefirst capillary structure 21 not only can be made by the metal sintering powder as mentioned above but also can be fiber, mesh or their combination. The formation of thefirst capillary structure 21 can be determined according to the process or heat-dissipation requirement. - Besides, since the
second pipe 2 of the heat pipe H of this embodiment includes thefirst capillary structure 21, the vapor can be effectively prevented from flowing back into thesecond pipe 2, and therefore the working fluid can flow in thesecond pipe 2 in a single direction. - As shown in
FIG. 1E , the structure of the heat pipe H of this embodiment is further illustrated. Thefirst pipe 1 includes an evaporator E, a heat insulator A and a condenser C. The evaporator E, the heat insulator A and the condenser C communicate with each other to define thehollow chamber 10. The evaporator E and the condenser C are respectively closer to the two ends 11, 12 of thefirst pipe 1, and the heat insulator A is disposed between the evaporator E and the condenser C. To be noted, however, the region of the heat insulator A or condenser C is just for the illustrative purpose and not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. In this embodiment, thesecond pipe 2 is located in a part of the evaporator E, a part of the condenser C and the whole heat insulator A. However, this invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments (such asFIG. 1F ), thesecond pipe 2 a of the heat pipe H1 is just located in a part of the condenser C and the whole heat insulator A. - In the application of the heat pipe H, one end of the heat pipe H disposed at the heat source is the evaporator E of the heat pipe H, and another end of the heat pipe H disposed away from the heat source is the condenser C of the heat pipe H. During the heat dissipation, the working fluid closer to the evaporator E will be evaporated into vapor due to the latent heat generated by the heat source, and the evaporated working fluid will flow towards the condenser C of the first pipe and will condense into the liquid working fluid during the process of moving to the condenser C. At this time, the evaporator E is a high pressure region due to the evaporation while the condenser C is a low pressure region due to the condensation. Accordingly, the vapor pressure formed in the heat pipe H will drive the vapor to move within the
firs pipe 1 and from the evaporator E, through the heat insulator A and to the condenser C and drive the working fluid to move within thesecond pipe 2 and from the condenser C, through the heat insulator A and to the evaporator E. That is, the condensed working fluid can be pushed into thesecond pipe 2 by the vapor pressure and be transferred within thesecond pipe 2 and to the evaporator E. In other words, the heat generated by the heat source can evaporate the working fluid (liquid phase) within the pipe into the vapor (vapor phase). The generated vapor is driven by the vapor pressure difference to flow to the condenser C of the heat pipe H and then condenses back into the liquid working fluid after releasing the latent heat. Accordingly, the continuous circulation will provide the heat pipe H with the heat-dissipation effect. - Accordingly, the heat pipe H of this embodiment can enhance the heat transfer capability by improving the liquid-vapor circulation. Besides, since the backflow of the working fluid is driven by the vapor pressure, the heat pipe H will undergo less problem of resisting the gravity and can sustain the abrupt increase of the heat source power. Favorably, since the heat pipe H of this embodiment is simple in structure, the quality and yield of the heat pipe can be increased and the cost can be reduced.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams of a part of the appearance of the heat pipes of other embodiments of the invention. To be noted, the structures of the heat pipes H2, H3 are substantially similar to the heat pipe H1 of the above embodiment, but the heat pipes H2, H3 include secondcapillary structures hollow chamber end 11 of the heat pipes H2, H3. In other words, the firstcapillary structures second capillary structures end 11 of the heat pipes H2, H3. Thesecond capillary structure 13 b of the heat pipe H2 is fiber or favorably mesh, and thesecond capillary structure 13 c of the heat pipe H3 is fine fiber. - As shown in
FIG. 2A , in the heat pipe H2 of this embodiment, thesecond capillary structure 13 b contacts a part of theinner wall 14 b of the first pipe lb located at the evaporator E and/or a part of theouter wall 24 b of the second pipe 2 b located at the evaporator E. Thefirst capillary structure 21 b of in the second pipe 2 b can be extended to the outside of the second pipe 2 b. At least a part of thefirst capillary structure 21 b and thesecond capillary structure 13 b extended to the outside of the second pipe 2 b connect to each other or overlap each other, so as to transfer the fluid in the second pipe 2 b to the outside of the second pipe 2 b and also prevent the vapor from flowing back into the second pipe 2 b. - In practice, the relation between the first capillary structure and second capillary structure is not limited to the above-mention case. For example, at least a part of the
first capillary structure 21 c of the heat pipe H3 and thesecond capillary structure 13 c extended to the outside of the second pipe 2 c connect to each other by winding so as to achieve a better effect on the transportation therebetween. - As shown in
FIG. 2C , thefirst capillary structure 21 d of the heat pipe H4 is extended to the outside of thesecond pipe 2 d to form thesecond capillary structure 13 d disposed between theinner wall 14 d of the first pipe 1 d and theouter wall 24 d of thesecond pipe 2 d. In other words, in this embodiment, thefirst capillary structure 21 d extended to the outside of thesecond pipe 2 d is also thesecond capillary structure 13 d of the heat pipe H4, and therefore the process can be simplified. - To be noted, the formation methods of the first
capillary structures capillary structures capillary structures second capillary structures -
FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of a part of the appearance of the heat pipe of another embodiment of the invention,FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram of the heat pipe inFIG. 3A under the flattened process, andFIG. 3C is a schematic sectional diagram of the heat pipe inFIG. 3A which has been flattened. In this embodiment, the structure of the heat pipe H5 is substantially similar to the heat pipe H2 of the above embodiment, but theinner wall 14 e of the first pipe 1 e at the two ends 11 e, 12 e contacts theouter wall 24 e of thesecond pipe 2 e after the flattened process. When the heat pipe H5 is flattened, thesecond capillary structure 13 e outside thesecond pipe 2 e can entirely or partially cover thefirst capillary structure 21 e extended to the outside of thesecond pipe 2 e, so as to effectively enhance the heat transfer efficiency of the heat pipe H5. -
FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a part of the appearance of the heat pipe of another embodiment of the invention, andFIG. 4B is a schematic sectional diagram of the heat pipe inFIG. 4A taken along the line C-C. As shown inFIGS. 4A and 4B , in comparison with the above embodiments, the heat pipe H6 includes a largerfirst pipe 1 f. In other words, thefirst pipe 1 f includes a largerhollow chamber 10 f. The heat pipe H6 includes a plurality ofsecond pipes 2 f which are disposed adjacent to each other in thefirst pipe 1 f. Through the disposition of the pluralsecond pipes 2 f, the flat heat pipe H6 can be made with a greater area. Since the heat pipe H6 of this embodiment also undergoes the flattened process, the inner surface of the first pipe if presses the outer wall of thesecond pipe 2 f, and therefore thesecond pipe 2 f can serve as the support structure of the heat pipe H6 to prevent the depression and deformation of the heat pipe H6. - Summarily, since the heat pipe of this invention includes a first pipe and a second pipe disposed in the first pipe and a first capillary structure is disposed in the portion of the second pipe closer to the evaporator, the vapor can be effectively prevented from flowing back into the second pipe and the working fluid can flow in the second pipe in a single direction. Since this kind of structure is simple for the manufacturing, the quality and yield of the heat pipe can be increased and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the heat pipe of this invention includes the structure of the inner and outer pipes so that the efficiency of the liquid-vapor circulation in the heat pipe can be enhanced and the heat transfer capability of the heat pipe can be thus enhanced. Therefore, the heat pipe of this invention is especially suitable for resisting the temporary heat impact and can effectively meet the requirements of high heat and high heat flux.
