Zusammenfassung:Heat pipe apparatus comprising a heat pipe having a first section having spiral fins extruded on its inner surface and a second section having a smooth bore interior. The pipe is sealed at each end after evacuation of all noncondensable gases and contains a vaporizable liquid as the medium for heat transfer. The second section of the pipe has a U-shaped portion which, when liquid filled, acts as a vapor or liquid trap when suspended vertically to prevent heat transfer in either direction. Since no capillary return of condensate is possible through the smooth bore section of the pipe when the trap is in an open position, unilateral heat transfer toward either end of the pipe is made possible.
