Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiator technology, and in particular to a flexible heat pipe capable of transmitting large amounts of heat over long distances. Background Technology

[0002] A heat pipe is a new type of high-efficiency heat transfer element that transfers heat through the evaporation and condensation of a working fluid within a fully enclosed vacuum tube. A heat pipe is generally divided into three parts: an evaporation section, an adiabatic section, and a condensation section. When the heat source comes into contact with the evaporation section of the heat pipe, the working fluid is heated and evaporates into vapor. The vapor is then driven by the pressure difference into the condensation section, where it condenses into liquid. The liquid working fluid then flows back to the evaporation section through the capillary force of the wick inside the tube, forming a working cycle. Heat pipes have advantages such as high thermal conductivity, excellent isothermal performance, and variable heat flux density.

[0003] When the spatial positions of the heat source and cold source have complex geometric relationships, or their relative spatial positions are not fixed, the application of traditional heat pipes is greatly limited. This is where flexible heat pipes come in.

[0004] Flexible heat pipes can solve the problems of complex layouts and dynamic connections.

[0005] Traditional flexible heat pipes use a corrugated or polymer tube as the insulated section, and a flexible porous material made of layered metal wire mesh or metal felt to transfer the liquid working fluid from the condensation section to the evaporation section. The space in the corrugated tube is used to transfer the gaseous working fluid from the evaporation section to the condensation section. However, flexible heat pipes still have some problems.

[0006] For example, patent application number 202220273605.8 discloses a flexible heat pipe, in which capillary structures are provided in the evaporation section, flexible tube section, and condensation section. The capillary structures in the evaporation and condensation sections are arranged in semi-circular or circular shapes, while the capillary structures in the flexible tube section are arranged in spiral fins. However, due to the significant flow resistance loss in the flexible connection part, this flexible heat pipe cannot achieve large-scale and long-distance heat transfer, and its application scenarios are very limited.
