Abstract
A set of heat pipes for solar collectors is provided. The set includes a plurality of heat pipes, each heat pipe being suitable for being laid out in a respective solar collector, and including a heat pipe fluid, a first sheet and a second sheet locally merged with each other and delimiting a reservoir. The reservoir containing the heat pipe fluid extends over a hot part for evaporating the heat pipe fluid and a cold part for condensing the heat pipe fluid, and is formed by an interstice between the two sheets. The reservoirs of at least two heat pipes are delimited by a same first sheet and a same second sheet.
