La présente invention concerne un condenseur (1) pour caloduc comprenant : - une pluralité de tubes (2) comprenant une paroi (3) ayant une face externe (3a) et une face interne (3b), ladite paroi (3) délimitant un espace contenant un fluide caloporteur, - lesdits tubes (2) opérant comme un condenseur destiné à condenser de la vapeur de fluide caloporteur au contact d'une source froide, - lesdits tubes (2) étant destinés à être reliés à un évaporateur, ledit condenseur pour caloduc (1) étant caractérisé en ce que : - lesdits tubes (2) sont reliés entre eux par des embranchements de sorte à former un réseau de tubes (2) interconnectés et/ou - ladite face interne (3b) de la paroi (3) desdits tubes (2) a une section transversale non-circulaire. Figure 1 The present invention relates to a condenser (1) for a heat pipe: - a plurality of tubes (2) comprising a wall (3) having an outer face (3a) and an inner face (3b), the wall (3) delimiting a space containing a heat transfer fluid; - the tubes (2) operating as a condenser intended to condense the heat transfer fluid vapour in contact with a cold source; - the tubes (2) being intended to be connected to an evaporator, the condenser for a heat pipe (1) being characterised in that: - the tubes (2) are connected together by branches so as to form a network of interconnected tubes (2); and/or - the inner face (3b) of the wall (3) of the tubes (2) has a non-circular cross-section.
