More Information
Summary:A method, apparatus and system are described for carbon nanotube wick structures. The system may include a frame and an apparatus. The apparatus may include a heat exchanger, a cold plate with a cold plate internal volume, and a heat pipe in the cold plate internal volume. In some embodiments, the heat pipe includes a thermally conductive wall material forming the inner dimensions of the heat pipe, a catalyst layer deposited onto the wall material, a carbon nanotube array formed on the catalyst layer, and a volume of working fluid. Other embodiments may be described.
