A heat transfer apparatus comprises a rectangular panel 100 having first 101 and second main 102 faces. A sealed system internal within the panel comprises a plurality of passages 103 each extending from a first manifold cavity 107 at a first end of the panel to a second manifold cavity 107 at a second end of the panel. The passages contain a fluid in both gas and liquid states (i.e. a heat pipe). Each passage includes one or more protruding features 122, 123, 124 on a side of the passages that is closer to the first face. The features may extend the length of the passages, may be square, rectangular, domed, circumferential, helical ribs or other forms. The second face may comprise sinusoidal undulations. The panel may be formed from extruded aluminium or aluminium alloy. A first (130, fig 7) and second (131) heat exchanger may be coupled to the undulating second face of the panel. Plural panels may be adjacently connected by a rib received in a slot 109. The panel may function as a heat energy absorber or heat energy transmitter. |
