Abstract

A heat pipe (101") has a plurality of conduits (103). Each conduit (103) has an evaporator section (105) extending laterally from a first open end of the conduit (103), a condenser section (109) extending laterally from a second open end of the conduit (103), and a liquid return section (113) connected to the evaporator section (105) at a position away from the first open end and connected to the condenser section (109) at a position away from the second open end. The liquid return section (113) of at least one conduit (103) is distinct from the liquid return section (113) of another of the conduits (103). A common vapor manifold (151")extends between the first and second open ends of each of said plurality of conduits (103) so vapors produced in the evaporator sections (105) can flow from the first open ends through the common vapor manifold (151") to the second open ends without flowing through the conduits (103).
