An ultra-thin plate heat pipe with a total thickness of 0.85 mm was designed and manufactured. The capillary core of the heat pipe adopts a sintered porous channel structure to realize the combination of the channel and the porous structure. According to this structure
an aluminum mold was manufactured. The heat pipe design combines the features of ultra-thin and easy fabrication
and sets up an experimental platform for heat pipe performance testing. The influence of heating power
copper powder particle size
and number of channels on thermal performance were analyzed. Thermal resistance and maximum heat transport capacity were used to characterize the performance of heat pipes. The results show that when the heating power is 14 W
the temperature of the heated copper block with copper plate and heat pipe is 102℃ and 66℃
respectively
and the heat pipe effectively reduces the temperature of the heat source. When the particle size of the copper powder is larger
the thermal resistance and the heat transfer limit of the heat pipe are also larger. When the particle size decreases
the opposite phenomenon occurs. Compared to the single-channel structure
the dual-channel structure has a lower thermal resistance
