Heat pipes, also referred to as thermal-superconductors, have found many new industrial applications thanks to a strong collaboration between academia and the industry. While their use was primarily in space and electronics cooling, since 2006 onwards, new applications of their use have been reported with commercial products being marketed, successfully, in various industries and domains. In this presentation, Prof. Hussam Jouhara, who developed many of these systems, will outline the fundamentals of heat pipes and what made them crucial to the energy efficiency solutions in many processes by securing heat exchanging mechanisms that were deemed impossible using conventional methodologies. The presenter will also highlight the pathway that such development followed all the way from the design work through the research and development stages to the manufacturing and implementations of these systems on scaled and full-scale installations. The presentation will also provide an insight into recent developments in this area and will include photos of industrial installations from around the world that resulted from the strong working collaboration that has been established between academia and the industry with case studies included to present the economics and the return on investment figures. Recent results from completed and ongoing research programmes that are led by the presenter will also be delivered to demonstrate the current state of the art in this domain.
