BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a supporting column, and more particularly, to a supporting column having a porous structure and installed in a chamber filled with working fluid, thus conveying the working fluid with a view to achieving heat dissipation.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] In 1963, G. M. Grover invented heat pipe technology. A heat pipe is a heat transmitting device based on the principles of heat transfer as well as a property of cooling media—rapid heat transfer. A heat pipe is typically fully-sealed and vacuum-maintained so as to facilitate rapid heat transfer through evaporation and condensation. It has other advantages, namely adjustable heat transfer areas on both the cold and hot interfaces, long-distance heat transfer, and controllable temperature. A heat exchanger composed of heat pipes has advantages, such as efficient heat transfer, compact structure, and low flow impedance. Accordingly,...
