Fibrous ceramic wick allows choice of working fluid and high-temperature fabrication and/or operation. Wick material resists degradation at temperatures from -195 to +1,500 degrees C. Liquid refrigerant fills bore of silica/alumina wick. After flowing by capillary action through pores of wick, refrigerant evaporates from finned outer surface of wick and enters heat pipe, flowing toward condenser section.
