Abstract
Heat Pipes and Thermosyphons are widely recognized as being excellent passive thermal transport devices that can have effective thermal conductivities orders of magnitude higher than similarly-dimensioned solid materials. Thermosyphons and heat pipe application is described in Chapter Six of this book with more details. The integration of heat pipes into heat exchangers (HXs) and heat sinks (HPHXs and HPHSs, respectively) have been shown to have strong potential for energy savings, especially in response to the significant reduction in the manufacturing costs of heat pipes in recent years. This review documents HPHXs applications, general design procedures, and analysis tools based on the thermal network approach. The thermal network approach is a robust engineering tool that is easy to implement and program, is user friendly, straightforward, computationally efficient, and serves as a baseline methodology to produce results of reasonable accuracy.
