GRAVITATIONAL HEAT PIPE WITH THERMOELECTRIC CONVERTERS (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F28D15/02 F24J3/06 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: in both variants, pipe includes case 2 with evaporation zone 3, transport zone 4 and condensation zone 5. In condensation zone, thermoelectric converters 9, radiators 11, cooling them, and elements for thermal contact of the converters with the case and radiators are mounted on the case. Both variants feature pipe where each converter 9 with the said elements is positioned in housing 7 and, together with radiator 14, forms removable heat removal module 6 mounted on the case 2. In the second variant, condensation zone can include a site with radiator contacting the case directly, along with all other components.

EFFECT: simplified pipe maintenance, enhanced reliability, extended utilisation possibilities.
