Innovative Aluminum/Ammonia Heat Pipe Radiator with Advanced Sintered Wick Technology

THERMACORE INC., based in Lancaster, PA, has developed a groundbreaking deployable heat pipe radiator using aluminum/ammonia technology combined with boiling-tolerant sintered powder metal capillary wick structures. This innovation significantly reduces weight through composite materials, achieving a minimum of 50% weight reduction. The patented design (No. 4,917,177) is ideal for miniature heat pipes used in notebook computers, meeting production rates exceeding 1000 units per day and poised to reach 5000 daily by the end of 1995. Spin-off technologies have applications in lightweight spacecraft components.
