Patrik Nemec, Alexander ÄÂŒaja, Milan Malcho

Heat pipe is device working on two phase change of working fluid inside. This phase change of working fluid lead to increasing heat transport efficiency of heat pipe. The basic heat pipe working position is vertical position, when the heat pipe can transport maximal heat flow from evaporator to condensator. This article deal about wick heat pipe construction and propose device to identify thermal performance. The result of article is comparison of thermal performance transported by heat pipe from working positions
