Abstract: A separable heat pipe assembly for stabilizing the generally frozen soil adjacent and supporting a structural member or foundation in permafrost or similar regions, including a cooperative combination of a sheath installed in the frozen soil and a closely mating heat pipe element normally inserted into the sheath with a substance of good thermal conductivity filling the small void remaining therebetween. The underground sheath preferably has a plurality of heat gathering fins and the mated heat pipe element preferably has an integral radiator section protruding aboveground. The thermal substance is preferably a liquid mixture of water and ethylene glycol, for example, mixed in a selected ratio.

Abstract: Structural support assembly for use in arctic and subarctic (permafrost) areas or in any areas where the upper ground layer is subject to a severe annual freeze-thaw cycle, including the cooperative combination of a support structure and a heat pipe element installed in generally frozen soil. The heat pipe is of a suitably complementary configuration and/or disposition with respect to the support structure to provide appropriate stabilization of the surrounding frozen soil. In one embodiment, the heat pipe element is disposed externally of the support structure and, in another embodiment, it is disposed internally of (and integrally combined with) such structure. The external embodiment further includes one version employing a linear (straight) heat pipe element and another version employing an angular (helical) element.

Abstract: Oil well casing construction for installation in permafrost to convey hot oil and simultaneously provide for permafrost stabilization. The oil well permafrost stabilization system normally includes an insulated heat gathering surface member or shield positioned around an upper predetermined length of production casing carrying hot oil through permafrost, passively actuated heat transfer tubes closed at their lower ends and thermally coupled to the heat gathering shield along its length, and a heat exchanger connected to the upper ends of the heat transfer tubes for rejecting the heat transferred thereto whereby heat from the hot oil carried by the production casing is prevented from melting the adjacent permafrost.

Abstract: A heat pipe wick structure including a homogenous central wick is fabricated by forming a plurality of laterally disposed longitudinal pleats in a sheet of wire screen, and compressing the formed pleats laterally together and inserting the same longitudinally into a tubular container of a heat pipe. The plates can be formed in a laterally central portion of the sheet with a flat screen portion on each side thereof, and the side portions are turned back over opposite sides of the formed central wick to serve as wall screens in the tubular container. Reservoir screens having a generally U-shaped cross section normally engaged by the formed pleats can be additionally installed on both side of the central wick in the tubular container.
