The heat pipes are also available with sleeves for electrical insulation. Typical applications include cooling LCD and plasma displays, LED lighting, CPUs, memory components, and hard-disk drives.

In the heat pipe method, heat from the chip converts a liquid--methanol--to vapor. The vapor releases the heat it is carrying in a chosen area, turns back to liquid, and returns to collect more heat.

Interestingly, JerryRigEverything cut through the liquid cooling pipe, revealing that it contains no visible liquid. It’s more of a heat pipe that simply removes the residual heat.

Improved product quality occurs because the sagging effect is avoided, and the deformation of pipe ends following cutting is significantly reduced, the company said. Tel. 49-5731-242-0, fax 49 ...
