What does EHP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Heat pipes offer several advantages, including:

• Highly efficient heat transfer
• Compact size and lightweight
• Ability to transfer heat over long distances
• No moving parts, resulting in high reliability
• No refrigerant or other fluids, making them environmentally friendly

Heat pipes have a wide range of applications, including:

• Cooling of electronic devices
• Thermal management of batteries
• Heating and cooling of buildings
• Thermal control of satellites and spacecraft
• Industrial processes involving heat transfer

Heat pipes operate on the principle of evaporation and condensation. A working fluid inside the heat pipe vaporizes at the heat source, travels to the cooler end, and condenses, releasing heat. The condensed fluid then returns to the heat source via a capillary structure.

The maximum operating temperature of heat pipes depends on the working fluid used. Different fluids have different boiling points and can handle varying temperatures. EHP offers heat pipes with operating temperatures ranging from -200°C to +1200°C.

Selecting the right heat pipe requires considering several factors, such as:

• Heat load
• Temperature range
• Size and weight constraints
• Orientation
• Cost EHP provides technical support to assist you in selecting the optimal heat pipe solution for your specific needs.
