Heat Pipe for Computer

Popularity of its use in the computer world, a little behind in comparison water cooling solutions. However, the actual heat pipe technique has been found to approximately 1960.
Used to cool the components on the spacecraft at a nuclear power plant.

Heat pipe is a mechanism of heat, which is possible only with the difference in temperature differences are minimal, the temperature between the hot and cold. Something that is difficult to achieve, if you rely on the media used in the HSF (heatsink fan).

Pipe used aluminum or copper. Empty space in the pipe containing water, ethanol or mercury. Hot parts, will cause the liquid to undergo a process of evaporation. Liquid vapor, plus large increases air pressure to make it move to the end of the cold. When it reaches the cold, the liquid will steam condenses and turns back into liquid form.

Used to cool the cooling device that aids in the fin either fanless or with sufficient additional fan rotates at low speed. Effectiveness of heat pipes is influenced by the type of fluid in the heat pipe, pipe material, pipe and capillarity. Will greatly affect the type of liquid vapor point, the evaporation process. This is why plumpness heat pipe solutions will only be effective at a particular temperature.

Installation Operation:
Solution heat pipes are also used in the latest notebooks. Form compact design, being the reason. Similarly, some video cards, especially those with silent cooling techniques. However, the experience of the installation of heat pipe cooling device will be felt on the CPU.

From all observations, unit heat pipe cooling device for the CPU, has a high dimension. Fan (if any) will be mounted horizontally with the unit cooling device. Rarely direction the wind is directed vertically, as in the application of the conventional HSF.

Difficulty level installation with heat pipe cooling device, not much different from regular HSF. It's just because of the size dimensions are relatively high, and it is difficult to measure PC particular case. If used well by fans, note the direction of the wind. Ideally matched to the flow of hot air in the casing. When in operation, the noise level is relatively more quiet than the use of conventional HSF.

Although the heat pipe to the fan, mostly using a fan with low spin and discharge air should not be too big.
