Help understanding heat pipes parameters
« on: March 12, 2023, 02:00:34 pm »
I need help understanding heat pipes parameters.

Let's say I need to transfer heat from the heating component on the PCB to the heat sink. For this I want to use a heat pipe. To calculate the final temperature on the PCB component, I use thermal resistances. But there is no such parameter for heat pipes. They have Qmax.

For example: https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/Heat-Pipes.pdf

I don't understand what Qmax is and how to go from it to thermal resistance? It cannot be that the heat pipe transfers 60W without loss (as if the radiator is attached directly and not through the heat pipe).

Help please me sort out this question.
