THERMAL PYROLYTIC GRAPHITE TUBE DEVICE FOR DIRECTIONAL THERMAL MANAGEMENT

摘要

The present technology provides a non-cylindrical structure for transporting media, including gases, liquids, solids, or energy comprising a layer of thermal pyrolytic graphite (TPG) surrounded by an outer layer and an inner layer comprising a metal, a ceramic, a glass, or a plastic. In particular, the present technology relates to a non-cylindrical tube or a pipe having an inner layer, an outer layer, and a layer of TPG between the inner layer and the outer layer wherein the TPG layer is configured to manage the direction of heat conduction.
