DIFFERENTLY ORIENTED LAYERED THERMAL CONDUIT

摘要

A thermal conduit (14) configured to conduct heat from a heat source (16) to a heat sink (18) and method of forming said conduit are disclosed herein. The thermal conduit may comprise a plurality of stacked sheets (12) formed of an anisotropically thermally conductive material, a non-limiting example of which is graphite, each sheet with a respective orientation of thermal conduction. The orientations of thermal conduction of the plurality of sheets may change stepwise in a stacking direction to form a curved thermal flow path (20).
