The electrical components used in the space program, aircraft, and electronic industry in recent years require a highly efficient cooling device for heat dissipation. In this study, a flat plate heat pipe (FPHP) was tested as a cooling device to replace the conventional solid metal heat sink. The FPHP uses a dielectric fluid, Fluorinert FC-72, which is chemically stable and environmentally safe. Hence the electrical components can be immersed in the working fluid order to increase the heat transfer efficiency. The experimental FPHP was designed in an attempt to measure the temperature distribution and gravity effects on the heat transport capacity. The experimental results demonstrated the advantages of using the FPHP. The FPHP has improved heat transfer efficiency and reduced weight.
