Additive Manufacturing as a Solution to Challenges Associated with Heat Pipe Production

Abstract: The aim of this review is to present the recent developments in heat pipe production, which respond to the current technical problems related to the wide implementation of this technology. A novel approach in HP manufacturing is to utilise hi-tech additive manufacturing techniques where the most complicated geometries are fabricated layer-by-layer directly from a digital file. This technology might be a solution to various challenges that exist in HP production, i.e., (1) manufacturing of complex or unusual ge… Show more

“…Advanced manufacturing (AM) has introduced new techniques for novel design, fabrication, and instrumentation of HPs. The versatility of AM compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques can address heat pipe challenges such as manufacturing unique geometries, complex porous wick structures, pore size and distribution, permeability thickness, thermal contact with chassis, sealing the casing and wick structures, and reduction in material, cost, and time for production of low volume components [25]. Preliminary investigations at INL of heat pipe design using digital light photoluminescence have demonstrated the capability to combine the porous wick and solid region within one component, optimization of internal pore structure and highlight the importance of digital light photoluminescence (DLP) printing and sintering parameters [26].…”
