Throttleable heat pipe
Abstract
Variable thermal conductance is provided by throttling or interrupting vapor flow between evaporator and condenser sections of heat pipe. Potential advantage of throttling technique is that no bulky gas reservoirs are required. Entire condenser is maintained at nearly uniform temperature so there is better thermal interface with surrounding equipment.
