Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat pipe structure includes a main body having a chamber. The chamber has a first side and a second side. A first capillary structure and a second capillary structure are respectively disposed on the first and second sides. A working fluid is filled in the chamber. The first capillary structure has a radial extension range larger than or equal to one half of a circumference of inner wall face of the chamber and larger than a radial extension range of the second capillary structure. The first and second capillary structures are connected with each other. The first and second capillary structures and the inner wall face of the chamber together define at least one vapor passage. By means of the heat pipe structure, the amount of transferred heat is increased and the heat transfer efficiency is greatly enhanced.
