THE HEAT TRANSFER RATE OF A HEAT PIPE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY VAR YING THE TILT OF THE PIPE ASSISTING THE CAPILLARY EFFECT OF THE WICK. A REVERSAL OF TILT ASSISTS THE HEAT FLOW TO CHANGE DIRECTION. ADDITIONALLY HEAT-TRANSFER CAN BE INCREASED BY WATER SPRAYING AN INTEGRALLY FINNED HEAT PIPE ASSEMBLY. THESE FUNCTIONS INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY AND RANGE OF USE OF HEAT PIPES IN HEAT RECOVERY SITUATIONS. THE AUTHOR SHOWS SCHEMES AND PSYCHROMETRIC DETAILS FOR USES IN ALL YEAR AIR-CONDITIONING D. W. H.
