The following parts make up a heat pipe:
1. Evaporator
The item in a heat pipe known as the evaporator is responsible for absorbing heat from the source and vaporizing the working fluid. The vaporized working fluid will then transfer heat from the source to the condenser.
2. Condenser
When the working fluid releases heat and condenses back into a liquid, it does so in the condenser section of the heat pipe which is in contact with the heat sink.
3. Wick Structure
The working fluid is typically transported from the cooler end of the heat pipe to the hotter end via capillary action with the aid of the wick structure that lines the interior walls of the heat pipe. Sintered metal powders, woven metal mesh, and porous ceramics are examples of typical wick materials.
