ABSTRACT:
A heat pipe heat exchanger utilizing a working fluid such as water incorporates heating means for preventing the freezing of the working fluid when the heat exchanger is non-operational. These heating means are located at or near the heat pipe in the lower region of the heat exchanger so as to prevent the freezing of the working fluid. Trapped gases within the heat pipe caused by the reaction of the working fluid with the metallurgy of the pipe are released by heating the working fluid with the heating means in order to increase the gas pressure within the heat pipe until the pressure is greater than the external pressure of the heat pipe. A venting means is used to vent the trapped gases from the heat pipe due to the force of the pressure within the heat pipe.
