A heat pipe is a transport mechanism that moves heat from a heat source to an area where it can be dissipated. Heat pipes do not actually dissipate heat and are therefore incorporated into many different types of heat sinks. A heat pipe is a copper tube with an internal wick structure that is sealed at both ends and has a small amount of water inside. When heat is applied to the tube, the water boils and turns into a gas, which then flows to the cooler part of the heat pipe, where it condenses back into a liquid. It is the evaporation and condensation of the water that creates the pumping action that moves the water (and the resulting heat) along the pipe.

As a manufacturer of heat sink in China, Pioneer Thermal is certified with ISO9001, ISO14001 and TS16949, and has more than 18 years experience in CNC machining, cold forging heatsinks, cold plate heatsinks, die casting heatsinks, extrusion heatsinks, heatpipe assemblies, skived fin heatsinks, stacked fin heatsinks, folded fin heatsinks etc., Pioneer Thermal has own R&D team who can design and run simulation for you if you require design service, or assist your design team to improve the part feasibility from the manufacture point of view (design refine/process optimize/cost reasonable). If you need any heat sink service, please contact Pioneer Thermal.
