Introduction of Heat Pipe

  • * Design Capability

    Apistek possesses comprehensive CFD thermal fluid simulation and system
    thermal design capabilities.We can optimize the heat pipe routing and
    structural layout based on the varying thermal loaddistribution, spatial
    constraints, and component configuration of different products, ensuring
    bothheat transfer efficiency and system stability.

  • * Process and R&D Capabilities

    In the area of wick structure technology, we have manufacturing
    capabilities for various forms, includingsintered copper powder wicks,
    grooved wick structures, and copper mesh wicks. We can also design
    composite wick structures according to different power densities and
    application conditions, balancingboth heat conduction efficiency and
    capillary return performance. This ensures that our heat pipes and
    vapor chambers maintain stable performance under high tilt angles
    and high heat flux environments.

  • * Forming and Customization Capabilities

    Apistek possesses bending and forming along with special-shaped
    heat pipe processing capabilities
    . We canproduce heat pipes with
    outer diameters ranging from Ø5 to Ø12 mm, supporting various
    special shapedesigns such as 3D bending, stepped flattening, and
    C-type/U-type structures. This allows us to flexiblymeet diverse
    customer requirements regarding system integration and structural
    space. In addition toconventional thick heat plates—including
    stamped copper plates, forged copper, and alloy materials—
    we can develop hybrid integrated modules that combine heat
    pipes and heat plates, effectively enhancingoverall cooling efficiency
    according to customer's structural design needs.

  • * Mass Production and Quality Capabilities

    We currently have the capacity for mass production of over 1 million
    heat pipes per month
    . We haveestablished a complete internal
    development process: from concept design sample production
     
    thermal performance testing reliability verification 
    mass production deployment. This entire process is completed
    within the same system, ensuring development timeline
    efficiency and quality consistency.

  • * Technology and Patent Portfolio

    Apistek has accumulated numerous patents related to heat pipe and
    vapor chamber structures, covering areas such as wick structure design,
    vacuum encapsulation, and high thermal conductivity material
    application
    . Leveraging our profound R&D strength and complete
    manufacturing processes, we help customers achieve product
    differentiation and provide more competitive thermal solutions.

Introduction of Vapor Chamber

VC (Vapor chamber) for short, its function and working principle are the same as heat pipes, it is a vacuum cavity with microstructure on the inner wall, it uses the phase change evaporation of the cooling medium in the sealed space to quickly diffuse the heat into the cavity, After the working medium at the condensing end condenses into a liquid, it flows back to the heat source end through capillary force. This operation will be repeated in the cavity, which plays the role of rapid heat conduction.

The vapor chamber is a two-dimensional surface-to-surface heat conduction, and it is a device that can bring a point heat source to a large area for heat dissipation. Compared with the one-dimensional linear heat conduction of the heat pipe, the heat transfer efficiency of the vapor chamber is higher. Due to its good thermal conductivity, it is widely used in heat dissipation of electronic chips with high heat flux, such as smartphone chips, notebooks, servers and CPU/GPU of personal computers, etc.
