Abstract

Heat pipe is a heat transfer device which transports large quantities of heat with minimum temperature gradient without any
additional power. In this review paper various design parameters which affect the performance of heat pipe as well as various
applications of heat pipe are discussed. Heat pipe performance is affected by orientation of heat pipe, heat input, heat pipe
material, wick structure, working fluid etc. Heat pipe technology has found wide applications in enhancing the thermal
performance of heat exchangers in energy savings in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, surgery centres, hotels,
clean rooms etc. From literature it is concluded that heat pipe have large heat transfer capacity with varieties of application in
cooling as well as heating.
