HEAT PIPE AND COOLING DEVICE USED IN CRYOTECHNOLOGY

摘要

The invention relates to a heat pipe or a cooling pipe used in cryotechnology, comprising a cladding tube (1) and a chamber (4) which is hermetically enclosed by means of a condensation element (3) on one end of the tube and an evaporation element (2) on the other end of the tube, and filled with a heat transfer medium suitable for cryogenics. The aim of the invention is to be able to cool supraconductive elements or components to the required transition temperature over a short period of cooling time, with high operating safety and in a highly economical manner. To this end, at least one cooling module (20) is built into the chamber (4) between the condensation element (3) and the evaporation element (2). Said cooling module comprises a tubular lateral surface (21) which is partially applied to the inner surface (1') of the cladding tube (1), and is provided with a guiding device (22), at least on the side of the condensation element, for deviating condensed and/or liquid heat transfer media towards the lateral surface (21). The invention also relates to a cooling device comprising a plurality of cooling tubes.
