ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is for a method of installing a heat pipe within another structure. A completely processed heat pipe is coated with solder and inserted into a cylindrical hole within the structure with sliding clearance. The casing of the heat pipe is then expanded into tight contact with the surrounding hole by heating the heat pipe and expanding the heat pipe casing with the heat pipe's own internal vapor pressure. The application of heat also simultaneously melts the solder to bond the heat pipe into the hole.
