Metal Additive Manufacturing has gained momentum as a viable production technique for specialized heat transfer devices, in particular for industrial sectors characterized by small production numbers associated with high-performance requirements. Within the space industry, ESA is leading and funding several applied research programs to explore the possibility to employ AM for building electronic boxes with embedded heat pipes, in order to reduce manufacturing post-processing steps and contact thermal resistances. In the context of tender 1-10238, the project “Heat Pipe Solutions for High Power Systems” (HPS2) has developed and tested lattice-based heat pipes, that are intended to be integrated in electronic modules. In this paper, the heat transfer performances as function of input power and tilt angle against gravity of a 150 mm long heat pipe with a 20 mm evaporator section and a 40 mm condenser section are presented and compared with the results of the models of performance limits, based on the measured properties of the lattice.
