This change caused the heat pipe to have copper-like heat transfer behavior. Experimental performances first built a CPU simulator with maximum heat power 300 W in accordance with the ASTM standard as heat source and measured temperature distribution by using infrared thermography and thermocouple thermometer. Observa- tion of heat transfer behavior inside heat pipe influenced by its integration with cooling plates used color schlieren technique. A commercial CPU heat pipe cooler was also used as reference object in this work. In- tegration of the heat pipe with cooling plates causes the heat pipe to have the copper-like heat transfer be- havior. The results indicate that rebuilding the bare heat pipe’s heat transfer behavior is the best solution for improving cooling efficiency of the heat pipe cooler.
