The present invention contemplates using an LED Assembly in which LEDs are adjacent heat pipes, which are preferably wick type heat pipes, comprising a fluid such as acetone or deionized water, in an evacuated copper pipe. The fluid condenses when cool, and evaporates when heated, and thereby moves heat very rapidly around the hot side of an optional Peltier device. The wick in the pipe renders it even more efficient at heat transfer. The heat pipe carries heat from the LEDs to distal heat sinks for dissipation in the ambient fluid medium, such as air. These heat sinks are generally aluminum, but may be of any metal that is a good heat conductor. |
