Abstract
The principal operating characteristics of heat pipes are briefly outlined and factors governing their selection, design and manufacture are discussed. Ways in which heat pipes have been used to improve the performance of a wide range of scientific instruments are then reviewed. Applications cited cover conditions involving the controlled transfer of heat at temperatures from 50 to 2000K and with powers ranging from a few watts to several kilowatts.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
