A heat dissipation apparatus includes a heat sink (30) and a heat spreader (10). The heat spreader includes a heating area (11) and a cooling area (13), and defines a vapor chamber (16) therein. A plurality of artery meshes (151) are arranged in the vapor chamber and extend from the heating area towards the cooling area. A working medium is contained in the artery meshes. The artery meshes are located between wick structures (15a, 15b) attached to a top cover (14) and a base plate (12) of the heat spreader, respectively, and contact therewith.

A heat pipe (10) includes a casing (11) and a composite wick structure (14). The casing includes an evaporator section (15) and a condenser section (16). The wick structure includes a plurality of grooves (142, 143) and an artery mesh (145). The grooves at the evaporator section each have a smaller groove width and a smaller apex angle (A1) than those of each of the grooves at the condenser section. A method for manufacturing the heat pipe includes: providing a casing with a plurality of grooves axially defined therein; shrinking a diameter of one portion of the casing to obtain an evaporator section of the heat pipe; placing an artery mesh to contact with an inner wall of the casing; vacuuming the casing and placing a working fluid in the casing; sealing the casing to obtain the heat pipe.

An LED lamp cooling apparatus (10) includes a substrate (11), a plurality of LEDs (13) electrically connected with the substrate, a heat sink (19) for dissipation of heat generated by the LEDs and a pulsating heat pipe (15) thermally connected with the heat sink. The pulsating heat pipe includes a plurality of heat receiving portions (154) and a plurality of heat radiating portions (155), and contains a working fluid (153) therein. The substrate is attached to the heat receiving portions of the pulsating heat pipe and the heat sink is attached to the heat radiating portions of the pulsating heat pipe. The heat generated by the LEDs is transferred from the heat receiving portions to the heat radiating portions of the pulsating heat pipe through pulsation or oscillation of the working fluid in the pulsating heat pipe.

A heat pipe (10) includes a metal casing (12) having an evaporator section (121) and a condenser section (122). A major wick structure (14) is disposed on an inner wall of the casing. At least one assistant wick structure (16) is disposed in and contacts with the major wick structure, and working medium fills in the casing and saturates the major wick structure and the at least one assistant wick structure. An average pore size of the major wick structure corresponding to the evaporator section is smaller than that of the major wick structure corresponding to the condenser section. A diameter of a cross section of the at least one assistant wick structure is smaller than a diameter of a cross section of the major wick structure, and thus the at least one assistant wick structure has a linear contact with the major wick structure.

A heat pipe (10) includes a casing (11), a plurality of grooves (12, 13) defined in the casing, and working fluid contained in the casing. The casing includes a first portion (14) and a second portion (15) having a smaller diameter than the first portion. The grooves (12) at the first portion of the casing have greater apex angles and smaller groove width than those of the grooves (13) at the second portion. A method for manufacturing the heat pipe includes the steps of: providing a casing with a plurality of grooves defined in an inner wall thereof; shrinking a diameter of one portion of the casing to enable the portion to function as an evaporator section of the heat pipe; vacuuming and placing a predetermined quantity of working fluid in the casing; sealing the casing to obtain the heat pipe.

A heat spreader includes a bottom wall (12) and a cover (14) hermetically connected to the bottom wall. Cooperatively the bottom wall and the cover define a space (11) therebetween for receiving a working fluid therein. A wick structure (15) is received in the space and thermally interconnects the bottom wall and the cover. The wick structure includes at least a carbon nanotube array, which can conduct heat from the bottom wall to the cover and draw condensed liquid of the working fluid from the cover toward the bottom wall.
