    Abstract: A vapor-chamber that includes a porous microstructure sheet with varying surface energy across different regions to optimize utilization of a working fluid. Modulating the surface energy of the porous microstructure sheet can minimize the amount of the working fluid that becomes trapped in the condenser region(s) and maximize an aggregate thin-film evaporation area of the working fluid in the evaporator region(s). The condenser region of the vapor-chamber is treated so that the internal surfaces have low surface energy. For example, the treatment may cause the condenser region to become hydrophobic to minimize the amount of fluid that becomes trapped in the condenser. The evaporator region is treated so that the internal surfaces have high surface energy. For example, the treatment may cause the evaporator region to become hydrophilic to induce the formation of large numbers of robust (e.g., dry-out resistant) thin-film evaporation sites.

    Abstract: A loop heat pipe includes an evaporator to vaporize a working fluid, a condenser to liquefy the working fluid, a liquid pipe to connect the evaporator and the condenser, a porous body provided inside a flow passage in which the working fluid or vapor thereof flows, and a vapor pipe to connect the evaporator and the condenser and form a loop-shaped passage together with the liquid pipe. The porous body includes a metal layer including a first bottomed hole that caves in from a first surface thereof, a second bottomed hole that caves in from a second surface thereof, opposite to the first surface, and a pore formed by and partially communicating the first and second bottomed holes. An inner wall surface of each of the first and second bottomed holes formed in the porous body has a concave shape formed by a curved surface.
