HEAT PIPE ELECTRIC ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F28D15/02 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: heat pipe electric element includes housing made from dielectric material and consisting of the cover blanked off on both edges with hot and cold walls made from dielectric material; casing made from electrically conducting material and placed inside the shell coaxially so that its upper and lower edges are toothed along the whole perimetre and tightly pressed with tops of teeth to inner surfaces of hot and cold walls so that triangular holes are formed between teeth and interact with steam transport zone, thus forming evaporation and condensation zones; annular space between the shell and casing is filled with wick made from porous material with homogeneous electrochemical characteristic, which in its turn is filled with working liquid, and upper and lower edges of casing are connected with electric wires to upper and lower external terminals.

EFFECT: improving efficiency and reliability.
