A cooling pin is a high speed heat transfer device capable of conducting heat energy over 1000 times faster than copper. It is made of a copper tube or chamber whose inner surface is lined with a copper wick structure.
The copper tube is sealed and the air is evacuated, creating a vacuum. When heat is applied to one end of the cooling pin by an external source, the internal working fluid dissipates as vapor. The resulting difference in pressure drives the vapor from the heated end to colder areas where it condenses and releases all the heat energy with a high degree of thermal uniformity.
