Abstract

The paper shows that heat pipes with metal-fibrous capillary structures and evaporation-condensation cooling system based on heat pipes are highly efficient means of providing optimal thermal conditions for different electronic instruments and devices. Such cooling system combining the functions of effective heating conduit (equivalent heat conductivity is much higher than the heat conductivity of the best heat-conducting materials) and effective radiator with the possibility of passive heat dissipation is characterized by a high heat transport ability, low thermal resistance, relatively small size and weight, reliable performance at different orientation in space under exposure to mass forces action. The paper presents examples of developed designs and investigations of heat pipes and evaporation-condensation systems with metal-fibrous capillary structures aimed at cooling the different heat generating items of electronic equipment. In this case, special types and designs of systems are discussed. These systems operate under different conditions of heat removal to absorbing medium and feature both a high heat transport ability and specific dielectric properties. In addition, the thermotechnical characteristics of proposed cooling systems are also presented.
