A device for the combustion of the burnable components of exhaust gases includes a conduit or tube for the passage of the exhaust gases and a heat pipe mounted within the conduit preferably at a spaced location from the interior walls in order to permit passage of the exhaust gases around the heat pipe and through the conduit. The device also includes means for directing an air supply into the exhaust conduit in order to aid in the combustion of exhaust gases under certain exhaust gas conditions. The heat pipe comprises a tubular zone closed on all sides and evacuated on the interior. A capillary fabric is arranged adjacent the inside face and the pipe is filled with a quantity of a volatile liquid, for example sodium or potassium. Such a pipe has a property of being capable of transferring heat with about 10 times the conductivity of copper. The practical construction is such that the temperature gradient over the entire length of the heat tube is substantially 0.
