Measuring heat-pipe quality

This page describes test procedures, measurements and results from comparing heat transfer capabilities between a certain type of heat-pipes.

Test method

Heat-pipe NC 6120 Heat-pipe NC 6120 Heat-pipe NC 6120
Testing four heat-pipe Clamp with transistor Temperature measurement

Results

Compaq nx6110 nc6110 nx6120 nc6120 heat-pipe measurements
Heat-pipe NC 6120

Analysis and results

  • Heat-pipe #0 is defective. This can be seen in the graph. Further measurements at this heat-pipe had to be stopped to prevent damage to the transistor
  • Heat-pipe #3 performs the best. At a room temperature of 22.1 °C, the final temperature when no further rise or fall can be detected is 35.9 °C. The dissipated power had been set to 18.5W
