Durable and reusable high-temperature carbon/carbon heat-pipe structure operates at temperatures above 3,000 degree F (1,649 degree C) in vacuum or inert environment and up to 2,800 degree F (1,537 degree C) in oxidizing environment. New concept combines high-temperature heat-pipe and carbon/carbon technologies to extend both thermal structural capabilities of refractory-metal heat pipes and maximum heat-flux capability of carbon/carbon structures. Uses refractory-metal heat pipes embedded within carbon/carbon structure. Walls of heat pipes thin and contain working fluid (lithium or sodium) of heat pipe. Carbon/carbon acts as primary load-carrying part of structure. Heat pipes help to eliminate local hotspots and associated thermal gradients and stresses and to reduce peak surface temperatures of carbon/carbon to levels within capability of oxidation-resisting system.
