Abstract:
1. A method of removing heat from at least one heat generating component, the method comprising: forming a geometrically reoriented heat pipe having an evaporator section and a condenser section; positioning the evaporator section proximate the at least one heat generating component; positioning a thermoelectric element between the at least one heat generating component and the evaporator section; transferring heat, via the thermoelectric element, from the at least one heat generating component to a heat transfer fluid contained within the evaporator section of the geometrically reoriented heat pipe; migrating the heat transfer fluid to the condenser section of the geometrically reoriented heat pipe, wherein the condenser section is geometrically reoriented relative to the evaporator section; cooling the heat transfer fluid within the condenser section; and returning the heat transfer fluid to the evaporator section.
