TL;DR: In this paper, a micro channel heat pipe with wire cloth wick and micro capillary channels formed by a corrugation extrusion process is described. But the wick is inserted into the heat pipe housing in a shrink fit, enhancing heat transfer.
Abstract: A micro channel heat pipe and method of fabrication are disclosed. The micro channel heat pipe includes a wire cloth wick having micro capillary channels formed by a corrugation extrusion process. The wick is inserted into the heat pipe housing in a shrink fit, enhancing heat transfer. The porous nature of the wire cloth wick permits free passage of the working fluid within both the closed and open micro capillary channels, doubling the number of micro capillary channels available for heat transference.
