Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a thermal contact plate defining a cavity in fluid communication with first and second pipes; a plurality of stationary elements substantially perpendicular to the first pipe that carries predominantly vaporized working fluid, each stationary element defining a cavity, wherein each cavity is in fluid communication with the first pipe, and at least one cavity comprises a wick; a second pipe in fluid communication with the cavities in the stationary elements that carries predominantly liquid working fluid back to the thermal contact plate cavity wherein the wick is also located throughout the second pipe, and not located in the first pipe; a plurality of movable elements, wherein the moveable elements and the stationary elements are substantially parallel, alternatingly arranged, and a portion of the movable elements overlaps a portion of the stationary elements; and a working fluid in the first and second pipes and cavities, or in the stationary elements and thermal contact plate.
