Rego Electronics Inc. Heat Pipes

Heat pipes are thermal super-conductors. The effective thermal conductivity varies with heat pipe length, and can approach 100,000 W/m K for long heat pipes, in comparison with approximately 400 W/m K for copper. At the hot interface of a heat pipe a liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface. Vapor then travels along the heat pipe to the cold interface and condenses back into liquid - releasing the latent heat. Liquid then returns to the hot interface through either capillary action, centrifugal force, or gravity, and the cycle repeats. Reliability is very important for many heat pipe applications. Rego's heat pipes go through many rigid quality tests to assure its performance. Our quality assurance tests includes, -Thermal Cycle Test -Burn-In Test -Helium Leakage Test
