Abstract

A manufacturing method and structure of heat pipe with adjustable working temperature range are provided. The heat pipe includes a tube, a capillary structure and a working liquid. The tube includes a passage having a length direction and a diameter direction. Besides, a part of the tube has a pressed deformation zone in the pipe diameter direction, and the pressed cross-sectional area of the deformation zone in the diameter direction is reduced by a reduction ratio with respect to an original cross-sectional area before pressing, so that the deformation zone has a higher fluid resistance. Thereby, the heat pipe can be operated under a certain working temperature range, and the working object can achieve the working efficiency.
