Heat pipes

Heat pipes are closed containers having a very high thermal conductivity thanks to the use of evaporation and condensation phenomena of the internal fluid.

Conductivity of a copper heat pipe filled in with water is 20 to 50 times superior to that of a copper tube filled in with the equivalent volume.

Heat pipes have the ability to transfer high thermal flows with a low temperature gap.

■ Power transmitted up to 1000 W

■ Thermal resistance inferior to 65 °C/kW.

■ Different shapes : cylindrical, flat or curved.

■ Passive element.

They can be easily integrated into your systems.

Atherm designs and produces its own heat pipes in its workshops.
