    摘要: A heat dissipation device includes an upper cover, a lower cover, an upper wick, a first wick, a plurality of second wicks, a third wick, and a gas-liquid separation structure. The lower cover and the upper cover together form a sealed vacuum chamber therebetween. The upper wick is attached on a first inner surface of the upper cover and is in fluid communication with the second wicks and the third wick. The first wick is attached on a second inner surface of the lower cover. The second wicks are attached on the lower cover. Third wick is attached on a third inner surface of the lower cover and is connected to and in fluid communication with the first wick. The gas-liquid separation structure is attached on a planar area of the third wick so as to separate a vapor from a liquid in the sealed vacuum chamber.

    摘要: An apparatus includes first and second microchannel heat exchangers and first and second pipes. The first heat exchanger includes a first inlet, a second inlet, a first tube, a second tube, a first outlet, and a second outlet. Refrigerant at the first inlet is directed through the first tube to the first outlet and the first pipe. Refrigerant at the second inlet is directed through the second tube to the second outlet and the second pipe. The second heat exchanger includes a third inlet, a fourth inlet, a third tube, a fourth tube, a third outlet, and a fourth outlet. The third inlet directs refrigerant from the first pipe through the third tube towards the third outlet. The fourth inlet directs the refrigerant from the second pipe through the fourth tube towards the fourth outlet. The first pipe overlaps the second pipe between the two heat exchangers.

    摘要: A vapor chamber accommodating working fluid and including first plate, second plate, first capillary structure and second capillary structure. First plate has thermal contact surface. Second and first plate are attached to each other so as to allow hermetically sealed space to be formed. Hermetically sealed space accommodates working fluid. Thermal contact surface faces away from hermetically sealed space. First capillary structure is located in hermetically sealed space. First capillary structure includes base portion, first protrusions and second protrusions. Base portion is stacked on first plate. First protrusions and second protrusions protrude from a side of base portion. Second protrusions surround first protrusions. Second capillary structure is located in hermetically sealed space. Second capillary structure is stacked on first protrusions. Distance between first protrusions is smaller than distance between second protrusions. Evaporation space and condensation space are respectively formed on two opposite sides of second capillary structure.

    摘要: A flexible heat dissipation device includes an evaporator, a vapor tube, a liquid tube and a condenser. The evaporator has at least one vapor chamber. A capillary structure and a working fluid are received in the vapor chamber. Two ends of the vapor tube is respectively in communication with one end of the evaporator and the condenser. Two ends of the liquid tube are respectively in communication with the evaporator and the condenser, whereby the evaporator, the vapor tube, the condenser and the liquid tube form a loop for the working fluid to flow through. At least one bellows section is disposed on one or both of the vapor tube and the liquid tube. The bellows section has multiple waved stripes. More than one of the heights, widths and pitches of the multiple waved stripes are equal to or unequal to each other.
