ABSTRACT:
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an orientation independent evaporator includes a wicking member which also operates as a manifold which possesses a number of surface accessible channels preferably via grooves cut in either side of a slab of wicking material at right angles to one another. The evaporator is, because of the structure of this wicking member, able to be operated in any orientation with respect to a gravitational field. The invention provides an improved evaporator for use in thermosyphons, and in particular, provides an improved mechanism for cooling electronic components.
