Abstract
A flat cooling plate which is assembled with individual heat pipes which are annealed, flattened tubes with sintered wicks formed within them. The completely constructed and pre-tested heat pipes are set into slots in a spacer plate which is sandwiched between two unslotted flat sheets. For assembly, bonding material is placed between the slotted plate and unslotted sheets, and the assembly is heated to the bonding material working temperature while compressed in a press in order to prevent damage from excessive internal heat pipe pressure.
