A tubular device that is very efficient in transferring heat. Using a metal container (aluminum, copper, etc.) that holds a liquid (water, acetone, etc.) under pressure, the inner surface of the ...

At the heart of it, this is a new, multi-dimensional take on a simple heat pipe. These sealed metal tubes take advantage of phase changes in a trapped fluid to rapidly shift thermal energy.

Frozen pipes are a major problem in winter, particularly for those who endure more bitter cold. When pipes freeze, the water inside starts to expand. If left unchecked, that expanding water will ...

Congatec, a manufacturer that specializes in embedded and edge computing designs, unveiled a new acetone-based heat pipe cooling solution at Embedded World 2025. Unlike traditional setups ...

Scientists suspected that, among other possibilities, plastic drinking water pipes exposed to extreme heat released the chemicals (SN: 11/13/20). Now, lab experiments show that’s possible.

Active cooling was considered in two forms: a system consisting of a row of four heat pipes cooled by flowing water and place onto the back of the panel; and another one consisting of four heat ...

it compared the systems to heat pumps with another heat source. They were, namely, heated by air, ground, lake and river water, pipe water, and wastewater. The analysis showed that the heat pump's ...
