Zusammenfassung:In a heat pipe the portion of the wicking material which receives the liquid condensed at the condenser surface at the heat output end of the heat pipe is provided with a plurality of large openings extending from the surface adjacent the condenser surface to the opposing surface thereof to avoid condensate accumulation adjacent the condensation surface. Such accumulation blocks access of the condensation surface to vapor and hence increases the thermal impedance of the heat output end of the heat pipe.
