HEAT PIPE TYPE HEAT CIRCULATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat pipe type heat circulator having an excellent heat transfer efficiency at a low cost and to prevent generation of an undue stress in a heat pipe. SOLUTION: A hear receiving section 11 and a heat radiating section 12 are made of a planar metallic member and a plurality of heat pipes 13 closed annularly are secured to the hear receiving section and the heat radiating section by bending projections 13a standing on the metallic member around the heat pipe 13. The thickness is set appropriately between the parts of the planar metallic member secured with the heat pipe thus regulating transfer of heat. Furthermore, a curved part or an elongating/contracting part is provided between positions of the heat pipe secured, respectively, to the hear receiving section and the heat radiating section thus allowing relative displacement between the hear receiving section and the heat radiating section.
