Abstract
In today’s market, there are a variety of types of heat pipes in terms of their geometry structure and their function of operations and/or the methods they use to transport heat from the source to the sink or on the other hand from the evaporator to the condenser and bring back the liquid from the condenser to the evaporator. Reay and Kew [1] are presenting a good description of different types of heat pipes along with their application, and the reader can obtain a good knowledge from their book [1]. In Chap. 1 of the book, both constant condenser heat pipe (CCHP) and variable condenser heat pipe (VCHP) types are discussed along with their general applications, and later, a mathematical modeling of heat pipe was presented, following Chaps. 3 and 4. Briefly here both CCHP and VCHP are touched upon again. Readers will be exposed briefly to different types of heat pipes in this chapter although their own research of the market for what type of heat pipe they are looking for and what is their demanding application is highly recommended.
