Heat Pipe heat sinks provide a unique improvement over simple extruded or other single component heat sinks. With the incorporation of heat pipes, this style heat sink is able to move energy away from where you must provide the cooling, but remotely eliminate it from the system. It also, enhances performance significantly with the use of two-phase cooling. At the core of every heat pipe is a fluid which is allowed to evaporate at the heat input site, and condense at the cooling site. The heat transfer potential of this well-known thermodynamic process is unmatched in typical conduction within aluminum or copper. This unique, cost optimized component provides a level of thermal performance unmatched in conventional heat sinks.
