Summary
Heat pipes transfer heat via phase transformation of the working fluid, where the working fluid will keep the temperature constant and absorb or release a large amount of latent heat during phase transformation. With the development of heat pipe technology, the isothermal performance of heat pipes has been gradually emphasized in many application fields. Most studies focused on the average temperature characteristics of one heat pipe or several heat pipes with the same type, and lacked a comprehensive analysis on the isothermal performance of different heat pipes. In this paper, previous studies on the application fields of the isothermal performance of heat pipes, the isothermal level of heat pipes used in different fields, and the methods to improve the isothermal performance of heat pipes are summarized. The parameters of the wick have little effect on the temperature uniformity of the heat pipe, while the arrangement of the wick has more influence on the uniformity of the heat pipe. The most suitable charge rate is 15% to 30% of the total inner volume, and the best start-up performance and isothermal performance is at approximately 45°.
