<p>A heat pipe apparatus for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink includes a hollow elongate sealed heat pipe having a hot end adapted for thermal coupling to the heat source, and having a cool end adapted for thermal coupling to the heat sink. A port is defined in a wall of the heat pipe, and a source of pressurized working fluid is connected to the port such that working fluid is admitted to an interior of the heat pipe at a working pressure selected such that working fluid in the interior of the heat pipe condenses at the working pressure and a desired temperature. Working fluid condenses at the cool end of the heat pipe, moves from the cool end of the heat pipe to the hot end of the heat pipe, and evaporates at the hot end of the heat pipe.</p> |
