Q:Difference between heat pipe and (VC) Vapor Chamber
A:1、The principle and theoretical framework of the heat pipe and the (VC) Vapor Chamber are the same, only the heat conduction method is different. The heat conduction method of the heat pipe is one-dimensional linear conduction, while the heat conduction method of the Vapor Chamber is two-dimensional surface conduction, so higher efficiency.
2、The heat pipe and (VC) Vapor Chamber are also different in the forming process. The way of heat pipe is to use graphite fixtures to fix the position of the copper pipe. Some of them are inserted into the graphite fixture, or some are placed on the graphite fixture. The purpose is to fix the copper pipe. The common method of (VC) Vapor Chamber is the principle of diffusion welding: the copper plate is placed in the processed ultra-thin (VC) Vapor Chamber diffusion welding graphite fixture, and the temperature is increased to the softened state of copper through a high temperature furnace, and then the temperature is lowered to make both sides Of copper grows together, also known as seamless welding.
3、In terms of cost, the heat pipe cooling technology is relatively mature and the price is relatively low, while the (VC) Vapor Chamber manufacturing process is complicated and the cost is relatively high, but it has a faster heat dissipation speed than the heat pipe.
