Possible heat-pipe application: utilization of solar and geothermal energy and waste heat.

Author(s) : GUZOVIC Z., MATIJASEVIC B., NOVKO I.

Summary

In this work from the available literature some applications are presented. Due to superior heat transfer and other favorable characteristics, further expansion of heat pipe applications is to be expected, with different types of solar collectors, and solar energy utilization generally. Heat pipe de-icing and snow melting systems of the highway surface, and heat pipe applications in rooms or greenhouses, utilizing natural stored geothermal energy of the earth and of underground water obtained from the drainage from hot springs and sea have been developed and investigated. Features of those systems are no moving parts and no external power requirement, implying high reliability, i.e. maintenance free.
