ABSTRACT:
A vapor escape membrane for use in a heat exchanging device, including a heat pipe or heat sink that runs liquid into a cooling region positioned adjacent to the heat producing device, the vapor escape membrane comprising: a porous surface for removing vapor produced from the liquid in the cooling region, the membrane configured to confine the liquid only within the cooling region. The vapor escape membrane transfers vapor to a vapor region within the heat exchanging device, wherein the membrane is configured to prevent liquid in the cooling region from entering the vapor region. The membrane is configured to include a hydrophobic surface between the membrane and the cooling region, wherein the liquid in the cooling region does not flow through the porous surface. The vapor escape membrane includes a plurality of apertures for allowing vapor to transfer therethrough, each of the apertures having a predetermined dimension.
