Abstract
The use of cryogenic heat pipes in space applications has received little attention. In fact, only recently have experimental studies of low-temperature heat pipes been undertaken [1–4]. In addition, several analytical studies in this temperature range have been made [5–7]. Interest in cryogenic heat pipe applications as efficient thermal linkage between central cold sinks and cooled detectors, however, has been increasing rapidly.
