METHOD FOR QUALITY CONTROL OF HEAT PIPE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC F28D15/02 G01J5/00 

FIELD: heating equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat engineering, in particular to methods for monitoring the quality of heat pipes with a symmetrical structure. Proposed method allows to exclude the background radiation and the reflections from the surface of the heat pipe supplied for its heating of infrared radiation using non-contact methods of pulsed heat and temperature measurement. On the surface of the heat pipe spatially separate the localization zone of the pulsed source of heat flow and the area for measuring the temperature of the surface of the heat pipe. In this case, the temperature measurement of the surface of the heat pipe is carried out on the brightness contrast of the surface being monitored in the infrared wavelength range, and pulsed heat supply to the center of the heat pipe surface is performed by the radiation method on the side opposite to the temperature measurement side.

EFFECT: increasing the information content and reliability of heat pipe quality control.
