This paper introduces some typical cases of industrial applications, which include the equipment for thewaste heat recovery and the industrial process equipment. Carbon steel-water heat pipe technology, applied to airpreheater and waste heat boiler, has been successfully used in many fields, such as waste heat recovery, energy con-servation and environmental protection. Liquid metal high temperature heat pipe technology has been extensivelyemployed in the process equipment; high temperature hot air generators and heat extractors, for example. Heat pipetechnology also finds its use in chemical reactors including ammonia converters. The successful applications is basedon the fundamental research of heat pipe technology, which includes the theoretical and experimental researches onthe vapor-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer inside the heat pipe, the heat transfer limits of heat pipes, the heattransfer enhancement with heat pipes, and researches on the material compatibility and life tests of heat pipes. Thehi-efficient heat pipe heat & mass transfer equipment is going to play a more and more important role in various in-dustrial fields.%介绍了一些热管技术在工程的典型应用,包括废热回收设备和工业过程设备.水碳钢热管技术在许多工程领域都得到了成功应用,如:用于废热回收、节能与环境保护的空气预热器和废热锅炉.液态金属高温热管技术在过程装备得到了广泛应用,高温热空气发生器和热管技术在化学反应器中也能发挥作用,如在氨合成塔中的应用.热管技术的成功应用是建立在热管技术的基础研究之上的,这些研究包括:热管内汽液两相流动与传热、热管传热极限、热管传热强化和热管材料相容性与热管的寿命等方面理论和实验研究.高效传热与传质的热管设备在许多工程应用领域将会得到越来越重要的应用.
