Conclusion
- Heat-pipe #0 is clearly broken. Because the heat-pipe is not transferring any heat away, the temperature rises locally substantially, 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
