MANUFACTURE OF A HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM.

摘要

A method of making an evaporator (115) includes orienting a vapor barrier wall (117) , orienting a liquid barrier wall (135) , and positioning a wick (145) between the vapor barrier wall and the liquid barrier wall. The vapor barrier wall is oriented such that a heat-absorbing surface (116) of the vapor barrier wall defines at least a portion of an exterior surface of the evaporator. The exterior surface is configured to receive heat (Qin) . The liquid barrier wall is oriented adjacent the vapor barrier wall. The liquid barrier wall has a surface configured to confine liquid. A vapor removal channel is defined at an interface between the wick and the vapor barrier wall. A liquid flow channel is defined between the liquid barrier wall and the primary wick (140) .
